When I try to
explain this place to
other people I always
introduce it as a
user built encyclopaedia. What drew me to everything2 at first was the chance to help to create a
reference for the future. I always hated normal
encyclopaedias because you can’t add or change anything in them even if you think it is
completely wrong, here you can
vote and write and frankly, I think everything2 is a better
reference than
Britannica since I can find out who wrote an entry and their
opinions on other topics thus placing the
write up in context. Everything2 is
postmodern in this sense and I hope to see it become more
user friendly so that in the future it might become the first place people look when do
research on any topic.
Even when I say all that my friends say “wow that's
cool/
amazing but it’s way too much work . . .
We’ll leave it to you.” (
