I'm completely underwhelmed. Chalk it up to hype I guess.
I couldn't get anything for "Most popular names in 2008," and when I clicked the "Examples" tab and clicked Socioeconomic Data->Countries and used its default of France, it gave me three pieces of info (country code, full name and something else) and apparently tried to load some kind of information underneath, but it never happened.
Maybe it's because it's launch day.
Edit: Here's another thing that bothers me. It doesn't give you the source of its info. So when I click "Names" and have it give me info on a specific name, when it tells me it's the 8th most popular (in 2007, nicely outdated), I'd like to know how it deduces that rather than take it as fact.
Interestingly, there's a "Source information »" link at the bottom that doesn't work.
Think I'll stick with well-crafted Google queries and more primary sources.
