[edit] Welcome

Hey,
I created LyricWiki.org because I was as fed up as everyone else with having to deal with the annoying invasive ads on the various lyrics sites instead of having one reliable site where I could trust the accuracy of the lyrics, and not be overwhelmed by ads.

So if you like being able to find lyrics to any song, and don't mind our lack of an alien making racecar noises and selling you ringtones... you've come to the right place :)

This is an exciting step for all of us, so poke around the site, and if you see somewhere you can help, jump right in!

I'm a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology I recently withdrew from RIT to work fulltime on my emerging software company, Motive Force LLC which absorbs the financial burden of hosting this site. If you support Motive Force products, you're supporting this site. Although I never expect this site to break even on the costs of hosting it, I think it's always good "karma" for a company to give a little something back.

I'm proud to be from Pittsburgh, PA where the site is now hosted. Check out some of our local legends such as The Clarks and Rusted Root, and Christina Aguilera.

Some of my favorite bands at the moment are Cake, Pink Floyd, BNL, Staind, Tool and Pearl Jam.

I make really ugly user-pages apparently. My Pedlr page isn't that bad, but I used the editor for that. TrevorP, Frontway, and pretty much everyone else in the world has a better user-page than I do. Anywho... I spend most of my time on the site over at the SOAP Failures page so that I can add missing music, create useful redirects, and most importantly: improve the SOAP's algorithms to have the highest successful response-rate possible. It's starting to get there.

If you have any concerns about the site, just go ahead and contact me; I don't bite.
Enjoy the site,

[edit] UPDATE

CURRENTLY:

1. Write the update-progress-tracking and artist-page-merging for ÜberBot so that he can start the update while I do this other stuff.
2. Start logging the percentages of found vs. not-found again for the API?
3. Clear off talk page
4. Guide UberBot through the rest of the iTunes updates (should be able to make the auto matching a lot better).
