yr collaborative encyclopedia, guv'nor.

The idea of some kind of encyclopedia which _everyone_ can contribute to has been kicked around on the Net for a while now. One of the first ones I discovered was h2g2, or the online 'Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy', originally devised+constructed by the saintly Douglas Adams, but lacking a little spark now it's more strictly regulated by the BBC. The plain-looking but information-packed Wikipedia is probably the best straight encyclopedia created by its users, and deals with many important subjects of relevance to the modern populace. But my favorite (and I'm a little biased 'cos I know Nate wot made it) is the truly gigantic, truly inspirational Everything2. Posted today alone, we have such vital topics as 'How To Shave Your Bikini Line', Joseph Goebbels, and 'Smash TV' (the game _and_ the song.) Noding is all the mode, dontcha know?
