New! Who2 Almanac

We're beta-testing a terrific new feature for our site: the Who2 Almanac.

For a sneak peek, try storyteller Garrison Keillor or President Ronald Reagan.

The Who2 Almanac is our response to the changing sizes of the Internet, with all of us sifting more and more information on ever-smaller screens. Almanac pages help mobile users and impatient Web searchers find the absolute essentials:

• How old is Oprah?


• Where was Mozart born?


• Are the Olsen Twins old enough to rent a car? (Yes, if they pay extra.)

The Who2 Almanac is a bullet train ride to who, where and when. Those who crave the what and why can click on to our full Who2 profiles. The almanac also retains our standard Who2 frame, with its useful links to job categories, the day's most popular figures, and the like.

The Who2 Almanac even has its own domain: almanac.who2.com. For now the home page is simply a gawky (but useful!) list of page names. But we're working on that.

Tip of the stovepipe cap to the boys in Who2 Labs, especially "late 20s Web programmer" Adam DuVander and Mike "Smarter Stuff" Duffy, for this swell new feature.

Enjoy!
