PopGraph's mission is to help you discover new and useful information about popular culture all data across Internet.

The seeds of PopGraph began some time back in February 2007 on a train journey from New York to Providence, Rhode Island. Originally conceived as an educational tool to chart how educational concepts, theories and people are inter-related the idea soon evolved into a more mainstream (and arguably more "fun") endeavour to track the popularity metrics of topics that you deal with and see every day on the Internet. PopGraph will continue to evolve and to attempt to keep up with the ever growing and changing wealth of information the web.

PopGraph acheives it's stated mission by compiling data from a variety of online resources and using statistical algorithms to produce the final PopScore that you see for every topic on the site. There are almost 8 million topics and this number grows daily as new data is produced in the form of new movies, songs, famous people, websites, scientific discoveries and much more. In short: if it is out there we will try to determine exactly how popular it really is.

Our unique PopScores show the popularity rating of a topic at a glance, and also from the perspective of other major online sites like Google, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Our scoring system is so unique that it merits its own explanation page.

We encourage users to use PopGraph in whatever way they deem useful, whether just for casual fun, keyword analysis, product analysis, etc.

PopGraph is funded by advertising throughout the site, but in no way does the advertising ever effect the scores you see, and never will it.

Customized and advanced statistical data in the form of a premium server subscription is available on request.
