What it does

Tableby is a new site that allows you to compare any two things you can think of and share with the rest of the community. Since it only recently launched, there are few comparisons already posted but you can vote on submissions by clicking either “agree” or “disagree”. If you’d like to contribute to the site, you can submit your own comparisons into any of the following categories: Software, Vehicles, Sports, Characters, Nature, Products, Food or Misc. If you feel you know enough about any two or three topics, submit your knowledge about them and include a photo. The comparison can be as long or as short as you want it to be but the more information you provide, the more accurate the user-voted comparison will be.

In their own words

“What is this site with its corny name? Not to mention having a logo of a mutant fruit of apples and oranges retarded inbred, yeah this one. It all started so simple, We have identified one of humans' fundamental needs (one of them being cupcakes), which is the need to compare. If we are given several options to choose from, it is only natural for us to compare.”

Why it might be a killer

If enough people decide to go through the rather lengthy process of making a comparison then it could become a popular referencing tool.

Some questions

There don’t appear to be any parameters for what makes one thing better than the other or what things should be entered for comparison. Can they pre-populate some of this information to make the submissions less lengthy and more cohesive? They should also seriously consider re-wording the “about” section because use of the word “retarded” could be deemed offensive by many.
