I’m getting into Everything2. It’s sorta a freeform Wikipedia, without the requirement for a neutral point of view. E2’s articles are more or less random blog postings on a particular topic. I haven’t written up any specific articles (nodes) yet. I’m still learning the site specifics.
There are some perplexing things about E2 which I haven’t figured out yet. Such as why some writeups have just a handful of out of date articles. Such as Church of Christ. There seems to be a handful of old articles on the CoC, but no new articles. Are new articles being supressed? Is there a limit on the number of articles you can write on a particular subject? I guess I’ll have to start writing to figure that out.
There doesn’t seem to be much structure on E2. Any user can write an article title and link it to anything, although there is potential for possible deletion. E2 has been notoriously slow in the past, but it’s been relatively reasonable (we’re not talking Google fast, but reasonable) lately.
A good thing about E2 is that you can write semi-anonymously, without fear of retribution from readers. Something I can’t do here, unfortunately.
Anyways maybe I should read this E2 article to get a perspective on things.
