MO hits the big time September 28, 2010
Posted by Ben Webster in Math Overflow.trackback
It’s not just MathOverflow’s birthday. It also got its own article on the Atlantic’s website. It probably won’t tell you much you don’t know if you’re a user of the site (and I hope you all are), but hey, there’s no such thing as bad publicity, right?
I’m also fairly amused that they managed to actually come up a photo of overflowing math to illustrate the article. It’s much more illustrative than any of MO’s official graphics.
Choice quote: “Math Oveflow is almost an anti-social network”
Allen, I was going to correct your spelling, but now I see that you were in fact copying the sentence verbatim.
Maybe there’s hope for a blockbuster movie called “The Anti-Social Network”? I am thinking of starting a back-up site called Math Overload. When I have enough time on my hands…. (By the way, the original post does have a missing word: read “come up with”.)
