Vidopedia
by Nadia Anderson and Fritz Donnelly
A typical encyclopedia is the product of the editor's maniacal and obsessive interest in cataloging knowledge. A VIDOPEDIA grows from users' casual but intense interest in a particular activity. A user who explores "rolling" will be encouraged by VIDOPEDIA to upload video of a "stop, drop, and roll" or "rolling thunder" or "rolling a car".
