Sharing information
One of the ideas behind the World Wide Web is
sharing information. Although looking around the web these days it doesn't look like a lot of information
is being shared, there are a few sites that manage to stay true to
some of the original hopes for the web.
One of the first I ran into is Everything2, a web-based, user-developed encyclopedia.
Also well known (in certain circles) are Wiki and Nupedia,
which are both similar projects —
there are a few others.
Of course I don't go to those sites, I normally search the whole web using Google.
Heck, I even use Google as a
spell checker.
