About WorldBrain - Verifying the Internet with Science

(logo)

WorldBrain Webmarks is a bookmarking tool for heavy web researchers like skeptics, (science-)bloggers and (science-)journalists.

This tool is the first of 3 steps to the goal of developing a browser plugin, which let's users check the facts and trustworthiness of web-articles and their containing statements. (www.worldbrain.io)

After a year of tinkering on the concept and intensive validation I now have a concrete plan how we can reach this goal.

For more see the roadmap:
https://github.com/WorldBrain/Webmarks/blob/master/ROADMAP.md

Now I am looking for a dedicated team to make this a reality.
