In one sentence explain why the server is down: Error establishing database connection. (it worked! lol) But seriously though, thank you for your thoughts. I did not expect it to be such a hit on HN, and the website was thrown together in a couple of days. In response to this: "you get a bunch of one-sentence explanations of widely different quality, frequently contradictory." You are spot on. That is the world we live in - often widely different quality and frequently contradictory [in everything]. For a social experiment, to see how many people respond in a helpful way vs silly way (commenting is open - when the site isn't being hammered by HN's community) was one of the pieces of information I wanted to find out. The other is to show that no one sentence will ever work for all, and every sentence may be helpful to someone yet annoying to another. But the main reason 1Sentence was born: It is currently not easy to track down one sentence explanations of a topic without travelling the net hoping someone has written it. Sometimes all you need is one sentence to explain a product to another person or even yourself. So in that regard, it worked. I appreciate your feedback and thoughts, thank you! Diesel Laws
