Hello.

I'm the author of genderize.io. At the time of your comments i was slowly getting this API up and running. A lot of sudden traffic made that a little hard :)

At the time, i was utilizing a few lists of officially approved names from a few European countries. We have those in Denmark, where i'm from, among a few other countries. This had led me to believe that most countries had lists like this and i was planning to add them as i went along.

I since change my approach, moving from the lists to large datasets of user profiles from social networks. This has given me the chance to update the API, adding probabilistic guesses along with the ability to add localization based filters.

My datasets are not that huge yet, but they're constantly growing.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback i found in here and give a heads up on the update :)
