Hey,
I created LyricWiki.org because I was as fed up as everyone else with having to deal with the annoying invasive ads on the various lyrics sites instead of having one reliable site where I could trust the accuracy of the lyrics, and not be overwhelmed by ads.
So if you like being able to find lyrics to any song, and don't mind our lack of an alien making race car noises and selling you ringtones... you've come to the right place :)
This is an exciting step for all of us, so poke around the site, and if you see somewhere you can help, jump right in!
[edit] A bit of transparency into what I'm doing
All of my todo lists are combined into the info in the widget on the right. Since one of them is my inbox, there is very little hope that it will ever make it all the way to zero and stay there for more than a minute or two.
Please note that it's pretty broken at the moment, the only part that's right is the unread emails. That will be fixed eventually! I actually use that widget quite a bit.
[edit] Personal
I'm a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology
I recently withdrew from RIT to work fulltime on my emerging software company, Motive Force LLC. If you support Motive Force products, you're supporting this site.
I'm proud to be from Pittsburgh, PA where the site is now hosted. Check out some of our local legends such as The Clarks and Rusted Root, and Christina Aguilera.
Some of my favorite bands at the moment are Cake, Pink Floyd, Barenaked Ladies, Staind, Tool, The Prodigy and Pearl Jam.
I make really ugly user-pages apparently. TrevorP, Frontway, and pretty much everyone else in the world has a better user-page than I do. Anywho... these days I spend most of my time working on making the servers stay up as much as possible and making them run fast. Due to how much time that takes, I don't get to spend as much time working on the content of the site, but fortunately we have grown a large and very devoted community who does a fantastic job of making sure we are the most accurate, complete, and navigable lyrics site out there.
If you have any concerns about the site, just go ahead and contact me; I don't bite.
Enjoy the site,
- Sean Colombo (talk page, email)
