the most interesting thing buried in the ratebeer data?

What would it be?

We have oodles of lists, but still I’m not sure we’re doing the best to show the most interesting stuff to all our visitors.

Is there info we have that you’d like to see? dream up anything. we can make a lot of stuff happen.

Ability to sort a beers ratings so that "ratebeer friends" are first. When i look up a beer to see its rates, i am most interested in the rates of people on my friend’s list, which is comprised of pals and people whose rates i trust. It would be nice if there was a one click option for this.

Can you pull out key words in ratings? Like citrus, hoppy, chocolate, etc. Then be able to pull up a top list of beers that have a particular descriptor used in ratings the most.

It would be cool if in our profile it showed other rate beer users that are most similar in beer preferences/ratings. Beer ratings by city would be cool. Ability to put in your profile your favorite beer and favorite brewery like the way you can add your favorite style. A list of users’ top rated beers.

these are all great ideas -- the first is just dumb simple and awesome. the other two we’ve already started exploring. keep em coming!

I really like lushawn’s idea... I am constantly looking at a certain 3 or 4 people to see how I felt about the beer as compared to them

This reminds me I finally need to suggest this. Butters came up with the idea which is basically a way to combine BeerID with EventID, so you can pull ratings from one bottle from a specific tasting and see how that bottle compared to the norm.

Can we get a script for top weekly performers and top new beers of the week for Thursdays going again.

I know you try your best.. but it’s easy to forget.

I always find that very interesting.

...more than a 100 search results would really be awesome...

not a list, but this would be awesome!

more statistic for countries; for example, how many beers for each country (you pulled that one out manually a few weeks ago), how many meads in Germany, how many ciders in France...

It would also be interesting to see how the rating distribution of a given beer varies between geographic areas. Probably only a limited number of beers this would be useful for, but I’d like to see how, for example, Westy 12 compares between Belgian raters and Americans, or how CCB compares between FL and MN.
