Rejected slogan #235:

Yedda - a brain the size of a planet.

Demian, the goal of Wikipedia is to be an online encyclopedia:

"a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge." (source: Wikipedia )

The goal of Yedda is to be a platform for exchanging personal knowledge - where the trigger is your question, with its unique emphasize and circumstances.

And when you post your question, anyone who has relevant knowledge can post answers or comments to the question page. The interaction model is one of conversation, where different people may have different, conflicting, and possibly all correct answers.

This is different from Wikipedia, where the interaction model revolves around creating a single unified balanced view (page) for each topic.

Both models (and quite a few others as well...) are valid, each one with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Yedda is about questions and answers, and Yedda's users ask many questions that the answers for simply can't be found in Wikipedia or Google. See, for example, the questions about buying a dress for bred's girldfriend, or ralph's gay(?) friend.

You're right when you say that many of the questions are questions that the answers for can be found somewhere else on the web, but not everyone has the skill to find everything they need.

Let's be clear about it: yedda won't surpass yahoo answers in terms of quantity, or Google answers in terms of qualit, as Google answers are paid for.

You won't neither have the same trouble with Yedda, that you may have with Wikipedia, where the information often varies according to political, religious or business wise criteria.

For me, what makes Yedda much more interesting, is that it is not related to any existing Yahoo/Google/Microsoft/EBay compendium. Ie the information is shared there, will not - maybe I'm wrong - by any of these big companies, in order to make money on top of my Web usage. And this makes a great difference.

Well,

WikiPedia is a good source of knowledge but it is not very simple to use unlike yedda. On wikipedia you cannot ask the questions and cannot interact with the community. While on yedda you can communicate with the community and share your thoughts and knowledge instantly. So yedda is simple to use and you can get instant solutions of your problems.

Google is a good source but you have to search a lot to find your exact information. i always surf the google results and after visiting tons of sites could not find the exact solution Of course google gives the related answers but not always the exact. On yedda you can ask very specific questions on any topic and can get the right and to the point answer, that you were really looking for.

Yahoo Answers: yahoo answers is a no follow site so you get no reward of giving the solutions to the community in terms of improved website rankings. On the other hand, Yedda is a Do follow site and encourages you to participate more.

thanks.
