Your project sounds awesome, the NLP part seems to be working nicely, but I'm afraid it depends on the quality of the data source, which right now is empty (I only saw some facts about a few smartphones). I remember your announcement for TheBigDB [1], and thought it had some fundamental structural limitations as a fact database too.

Since ontology is a very very hard problem, and collecting a lot of facts even more so, I think you should look more carefully into using a structured DB like Freebase that has already figured it out.
