Deadpool or not!

[Ninjamonk]

Hey there, I have been playing with the api and come up with this fun
little app.

The idea is simple, you are given a logo and you have to answer the
question is it deadpool or not.

http://deadpoolornot.com/

I made it by mining the data on crunchbase via the api and using the
output to create an xml file thats loaded into the flash(flex) movie.
There are only 26 companies in there.

My experience with the api was hit and miss to be honest. The lack of
xml output was painful for me. Json has a time and a place.

I would of loved a method for returning all the deadpool companies
(hinh hint) :p

all in all I had some fun so hats off to you for supplying it.

Cheers
Darren

The query

PREFIX cb: <http://cb.semsol.org/ns#>

SELECT ?s ?yr WHERE {
?s cb:deadpooled_year ?yr
}

run at http://cb.semsol.org/sparql lists companies and
the year they tanked.

RDF/SPARQL is a very flexible API for data access without
the need for implementing specialised functions.

Even has optional XML results.

Regards,
Andreas.
