Nextdeep.com - web extension or a new format for accumulating knowledge about any page on the Internet

    The idea is simple. We surf the Internet, sometimes we find something interesting that catches, and I want to know more. Whether it's a supernova for geeks, a resort in Asia, or a new way to hack Pentagon servers.
    We open the search engine, gradually wade through the positions carefully selected by the artificial brain of search engines and generously spiced with endless budgets of SEO-optimizers. We open one site, the second, on the tenth we learn about a useful forum or blog ... Just remember how long it took you to collect all the really good bookmarks on the topic you are interested in?

    But how else?


    So we asked ourselves such a question. How else? And they realized that no automated algorithm can replace manual, human selection. No companies are able to create such a stream of useful information that we, ordinary users, create in our blogs, forums and social networks. grids.
    We wanted to do something useful for ourselves and others. After all, how wonderful it would be to read additional information on the topic of the page you are currently on, chat with knowledgeable people, or simply write where it will be in demand not only by friends.

    The main goal of the project is to make access to information simple, unambiguous.
    So, what tasks the project solves:

    - The accumulation of knowledge around the original source of information in the form of a collective blog. The original source can be any page on the Internet. The user himself determines what useful information to place and to which primary source to attach it.
    - Quick access to accumulated information. Simply add nextdeep.com/ in front of any address on the Internet, and you get on a list of articles sorted by usefulness. Example:
    - http://nextdeep.com/apple.com/iphone/features/ - articles about the new features of Iphone 4G.
    - nextdeep.com/http://gov.ca.gov/about/arnold - articles about the political activities of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    In many respects, convenience is achieved due to the fact that:

    - All pages on the Internet are united in a community by the principle of a domain: nextdeep.com/apple.com/iphone - community nextdeep.com/apple.com

    The community page aggregates all the information contained in the community.

    - There is a place for any point of view. There are measurements for this, for example:
    - nextdeep.com/apple.com - community of users of apple products.
    - nextdeep.com/nextdeep.com/apple.com or d2.nextdeep.com/apple.com (second dimension) - MacOS application development community.

    Thus, everyone communicates in their own comfortable circle of like-minded people.

    - An extension was developed for Firefox, which is an indicator of the existence of an alternative level and allows you to go to it in one click from any page.

    - There is a rating, and the most useful articles are at the top of the page, thereby allowing anyone to get to know the most important information as quickly as possible. There is also a rating of community members, always turn to a professional in any community.

    - In communities there are administrators who are selected automatically according to the largest contribution to the community.

    The project at this stage is purely social, no paid services and access, etc.

    We would like it to be an alternative wiki, which is now the greatest dictionary in the history of mankind. However, this project does not duplicate, but supplements it. Wiki has an academic nature: one article, one term, harsh moderation. The format of the NextDeep project provides for several articles describing the theme of the original page from different angles, even a comfortable way of cohabiting radically different points of view is provided. All materials are supplemented by comments and ranked by community members themselves. Given this format, articles should obviously be of interest in the long run. Thus, posts of a purely news nature are not of such benefit, and will be deleted by administrators. It is also necessary to choose the right source of information. People who know the topic usually know it,

    We understand that the project is global, but what a huge one. There are trillions of pages, and, obviously, it will take a long time to fill at least the most vital of them. Firstly, we have ideas on how to reduce this amount. Secondly, it all started with something, and we will strive to end it with something meaningful.

    Those who liked our idea, the best help would be writing articles or copying their own, others' articles are allowed (with @C). You can discuss the project in the second dimension http://nextdeep.com/nextdeep.com/ . We invite everyone, we still have many ideas for discussion and implementation, how to make access even easier, how to combine various original sources.

    Special thanks to the a25 Hubruzer for his overwhelming contribution to the development of the project!
