Have you ever wanted to have one record that no one else could touch? One piece of the pie no matter how small or insignificant it was? We’ve all heard of the Guiness Book of World Records. We all know exactly how they choose their winners. Now our new media culture has something for us. The Universal Record Database. Instead of some random people who claim to know from their encyclopedic knowledge who is worthy of a world record it is now up to us to choose, rate, and decide.

I happened upon this fantastic website because of something called the workbook project. They have been making a new show called Radar, and it definitley seems to have it’s hand on the pulse of emerging net oddities. They also have parties in the city sometime. So – keep your eye out for those as well if you’re an East Coaster.
