- KronisLV 3y agoI think the introduction page might have been a better starting point for me: https://everything2.com/node/e2node/An%20Introduction%20to%20Everything2 https://everything2.com/node/e2node/An%20Introduction%20to%2...

- solardev 3y agoFor context, this site used to be popular back in the Slashdot days, around 1999 or 2000 or so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything2?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything2?wprov=sfla1 I had forgotten about it completely and didn't realize it still existed. Wonder how it compares to Metafilter and reddit these days.
- Lorin 3y agoI still remember the following 2000s post to this day, nothing else: "Why strapping buttered toast to a cat's back will not produce infinite power" https://everything2.com/title/Why+strapping+buttered+toast+to+a+cat%2527s+back+will+not+produce+infinite+power https://everything2.com/title/Why+strapping+buttered+toast+t...
- gilleain 3y agoLikely it was originally a 'nodeshell' - in other words, a title of a page without any content. So someone created the idea, then someone else ran with it and filled it in. One thing that was great about E2 was that the same title (node) could and did have multiple 'responses' so even a factual node could have different pages with different authors. Sort of a cross between a wiki and stack overflow. It meant you could have two or more consistent viewpoints that disagreed, unlike a wikipedia page that is a mixture of authors.

- ascorbic 3y agoIt's funny to think that early on (20-25 years ago) it rivalled Wikipedia in popularity, but very quickly fell behind. Its real strength was the community though. There were lots of meetups around the world. I made so many friends there when I was on the site 20 years ago or so, many on whom I'm still good friends with today.
