Web Pick
Website of the week: The Quackometer

Crystal fans and dowsers beware, the Quackometer seeks to automate the debunking of quack medicine online. The web is chock-a-block with snake oil sites supporting health claims, cures and pseudo scientific gobbledygook. It's the aim of the Quackometer to see if spotting these sites can be automated, and at least so far, it seems to be doing a pretty good job. Go submit your site of questionable claims and see what the Quackometer has to make of it.
