Everything2 ("E2") is a web-based pseudo-encyclopedia written by its users. Although it has similarities to
Wikipedia and Urban
Dictionary, there are also major differences.
Its main strength- or weakness- is a lack of a clearly-defined purpose. It mixes factual articles with fiction, thoughts and opinions, humor and meta-E2 content. E2 has (or had) its own style.
Although still being added to today, E2 is long past its heyday. Most articles were written between 1999 and 2001 and now it's more like a snapshot of the
time than a living thing.
When it comes to humor and personal writing, the community is definitely more indulgent towards established users. Perhaps this is why E2 has declined from when everyone was a newbie. Unless you want to write
Wikipedia-lite, who wants to bother with the politics?
