What is "sporcle"

Sporcle is a trivia quiz website. Anybody with a Sporcle account is able to create a quiz. The site was launched in July 2007. According to website founder Matt Ramme, the name of the site 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 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."
