Sporcle

Sporcle is a trivia quiz website launched in July 2007, on which users have a set time limit within which to name all the items within a given subject such as Presidents of the USA or Countries of Europe. According to the website's founder Matt Ramme, the name Sporcle is inspired by the word 'oracle'. Offices for the website are located in Seattle and San Francisco.

The website was founded in response to Ramme's own desire to learn trivia and his accompanying frustration that there was no existing website suitable for his needs. Sporcle's mission statement is, "We actively and methodically search out new and innovative ways to prevent our users from getting any work done whatsoever."
