For those who are not familiar with Smarterer, it was formerly a free website where people could create and take skills tests online. They had an extensive API which allowed integration into services such as eLance, etc.

Fast-forward to today, Smarterer.com got bought out by Pluralsight and absorbed into their monolithic learning solution and is no longer publicly accessible. They essentially took this wonderful crowd-sourced learning tool and closed it off, for profit.

I have been designing a similar platform for well over a year now and back on March 15th I launched my beta.

I have much more plans beyond just crowd-sourced skills testing with machine-learning in the background, but that is where I have started. I have plans to parter with recruiters and organizations so people can automatically apply for jobs by taking skills tests, I plan on exposing a developer API, building in social-networking aspects into the platform so people can teach/learn from each-other, the ability for people to create and charge for courses, etc. I want to disrupt the public education system.

I welcome any comments on this matter, I personally would love to hear any and all feedback, be it positive or negative. Thanks!
