Everipedia is "Thug Wikipedia". It is a knowledge aggregator, kind of like Reddit/Wikipedia. Anyone can create a page about any person, place, organization, or thing and populate it with relevant links for that page. Everipedia is fun! We thought contributing to media aggregator websites such as Reddit was very easy, social, and enjoyable.. but media aggregator sites are not an ideal format for preserving useful information and knowledge about a particular topic. We changed the way knowledge is added, displayed, preserved, and understood on each page to make contributing links and information quick, social, and powerful. Basically, our two favorite websites, Reddit and Wikipedia, had a baby. And they named her Everipedia! She is beautiful, and you will love her, I promise..

I really like this site. Have any posts or usage patterns surprised you in how initial users approach the site?

@larry_lawal IMO most usage patterns seem to be focused on current events at the moment. We are still trying to grow ATM so i will get back to you on that :)

@larry_lawal Larbear, the only usage pattern I truly care about is I want you to add some stuff to the Larry Lawal page!! (so far I have the top "Larry Lawal IQ"..) http://www.everipedia.com/larryl...

@larry_lawal Yes, we were surprised at how creative people got with starting EP pages - we thought it was going to only be for people and startups at first, but we were wrong. Someone even started a page for toilets.... http://everipedia.com/1127371520...

It's fun and easy to mess with so far. What was the original concept and where do you guys hope to be in six months?

@weinberg81 The original concept was "what if everything and everyone had its own 'subreddit'" so people can come together and discuss their knowledge of the topic in a new and social way that's not as formal/sterile as wikipedia (although we all are obsessed with wiki). In 6 months we plan to have EP pages for pretty much EVERITHING!

Hey @mahbodmoghadam, you intro'd it as "thug wikipedia." Wondering what the 'thug' part alludes to? Isn't scary to use, nor do I see Pac anywhere (lol). Thanks!

@lejlahunts It is truly a thug experience. Especially with Mahbod, and I steering it. Btw, Pac is definitely on it. http://www.everipedia.com/tupacs...

@lejlahunts LOL it was @samkazemian who coined the nickname! I guess it doesn't make much sense - it alludes to the fact that everipedia is, on the one hand, muuuuuch more free-flowing and CHILL than Wikipedia, altho since it is based on adding links, the information on it will actually be more accurate! it's just the bestttttt Lejla you gotta sign up and make your own page! it's fun.. this is my page if you wanna peep! http://www.everipedia.com/mahbod...

I certainly like the idea. I just feel like the site is lacking in content when it comes to the pages. I think the pages should be much more immersive, almost like a timeline of links sorted chronologically filled with rich media and more. Just feels a bit plain at the moment, but I'm sure you guys are working on that! :)

@jsngr ah, too true, too true! I just put up what is going to eventually be the highest traffic page on the site after @zuck btw... http://www.everipedia.com/jordan...

@mahbodmoghadam @jsngr just upvoted Jordan's Product Hunt link on his Everipedia page. Thoughts on Everipedia: I don't contribute to Wikipedia because it seems like a lot of work, and I'm afraid they'll start emailing me asking for donations. I also wouldn't try to create my own Wikipedia page because I'm not sure what the standards are for creating one. I like that Everipedia lowers the friction/anxiety/effort needed to be a contributor. One thing I'm interested in knowing is how would people have used Everipedia during the Drake v. Meek Mill battle. Some trolls were changing Meek Mill's Wikipedia page to say he was murdered by Drake. How would the internet trolls have fun with Everipedia?

@daperzer @jsngr the ONLY RULE of Everipedia is that it is a "POSITIVITY ZONE" - that means you're not allowed to say anything mean. Not even about Lena Dunham. Not even about Mark Suster. (TRUST ME IT IS DIFFICULT EVEN FOR ME!) So for Drake/Meek, hopefully the entries would be more focused on how bomb Drake is.. cause he really is! Drake is the "Muse of Everipedia" - I love him so much.
