Check out
The Quillion - it's a nifty new site, and I think it has the potential to be really popular. Basically, you can post anything you want - a poem, a story, a picture, a rant, random thoughts, anything. Then you connect your post to others' posts by creating links both in your own posts and in others'. The site can only be navigated by traveling through the links and it creates a sort of neural net of people and ideas. It's hard to explain, but once you read the main page and click on some links, you can figure it out - it only took me a few minutes.
Anyway, it needs more people (as far as I know, the site was put up
today), and it's a really unique idea. If you like it, spread the word, because it will be much more complex and interesting once it starts really growing.

YES! It must be.
Either that or it's just a weird coincidence.
Although, it would be a weird reference.

I can't figure out how to read anything except the post on the main page
Either it's broken, or I am.

Nope, the site's not finished yet, so everything else written stems from the "links" on the first page (certain words link to other stories and whatnot). There's some comments asking for that to be changed on the comments on the first page.
Click 1990s, for example!

You click on the links in the main page, which lead to other entries, which have their OWN links, to other entries, and so on. You can't navigate the site except by exploring the random links. It'll be a lot cooler when it gets bigger, I think, but it's really nifty even now. And then you can add your own posts and add your own links to broaden the net. Cool, eh?

basically like
www.everything2.com
Except that this is based around creativity, whereas everything2 is more of a massive dictionary/encyclopedia.

I clicked around on random words and the such....but I never actually read the entries. I think I broke it.
