#2Er, I can answer all of them.
Looks like spam to me. If it's not, perhaps you'd like to share the technology you used to build the site, the problems you've had and how you've solved them, how you're trying to get customers, your intended model for making money, and your growth so far.
Or are these questions about your enterprise that you can't answer?

The main focus of the site is to help families gather and collect memories that you can't find anywhere else besides in the minds of their relatives. Questions like the ones in the blog post can't be found in newspapers or historical records. So you need an easy way to gather this information. That is why we focus on answering questions.
Lots of people use blogs and wikis to collect family history. For those sites, the user has to spend time thinking about what to write and then compose the text. On Tpstry, we ease the process by presenting quick questions to answer. For the user, this is much simpler. They either know the answer or they don't. And if they do know the answer, they only have enter a short amount of text. So this speeds up the data entry process.
Plus, once a question is answered, the information is stored in a structure manner so that it can easily be reused in other ways. An example of this is that Tpstry takes all the answered questions and automatically creates a website for you.

I think it is a new approach to solving a broader problem, which is how do you gather the knowledge of a group of people efficiently. Sure, Tpstry is built using cool technologies (Rails, Mongodb), but using an interview process to gather structured data is what I find most interesting.
We've built Tpstry to modify the interview questions based on previous answers. So new lines of questions are opened and others are closed. This helps with the user experience because it only presents the user with relevant questions.
