Jonathan Shieber of TechCrunch writes, “The project Biggs developed now reaches 171 journalists with information from a network of 661 technologists, and Biggs is hoping to expand the scope of the project even further.

“Other services have tried to pitch expert advice to journalists, but their success has been limited by so-called experts’ ability to game the system.
