The Notable Names Database ( NNDB ) is an online database of biographical details of over 40,000 people. Soylent Communications, a sole proprietorship that also hosted the now-defunct Rotten.com , [1] describes NNDB as an "intelligence aggregator" of noteworthy persons, highlighting their interpersonal connections. [2] [3] The Rotten.com domain was registered in 1996 by former Apple and Netscape software engineer Thomas E. Dell, who was also known by his internet alias, "Soylent". [4]
Entries
Each entry has an executive summary with an assessment of the person's notability. [5] It also lists their deaths, cause of death, and life risk factors that may affect their lives span such as obesity, cocaine addiction, or dwarfism. [6] Businesspeople and government officials are listed with chronologies of their posts, positions, and board memberships. NNDB has articles on films with user-submitted reviews, discographies of selected music groups, and extensive bibliographies. [5]
