[Developers] A new way to fill in topics

[Shawn Simister]

The other day I came across an interesting site called J! Archive 
<http://www.j-archive.com> where a community of dedicated Jeopardy fans 
are compiling a database of all the questions and answers to every 
Jeopardy episode that has ever aired. After 25 seasons on the air, this 
is quite an impressive resource with thousands of episodes and well over 
100,000 questions and answers that touch on every aspect of human 
knowledge from the past 25 years. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to feed 
some of that data into Freebase?

I've hacked together a simple search interface 
<http://jeopardy.narphorium.user.dev.freebaseapps.com> that will let you 
see all the Jeopardy "facts" associated with a Freebase topic. It just 
matches by name so its not perfect but the results are still pretty good 
and I think it could be an interesting way to fill in empty Freebase 
topics. Let me know what you think.
