Mashpedia: A Real-Time Encyclopedia

When we search for information online, we usually read wikis, search results, watch videos, read news and blogs, and sort through social network streams. But wouldn’t it be nice if all of these were located on one seamless page?

Enter Mashpedia, a real-time encyclopedia that aggregates multiple live web feeds about a specific topic and converts them into a structured and easily readable layout.

To start using Mashpedia, just enter any topic in the search field. Then the app can bring you to the exact page or give you a list of results for your search terms. Each entry provides a definition of terms, videos, Twitter feeds, and more. Mashpedia also offers semantic connections between articles.

You can toggle each box in the entry to show/hide them. There are also individual settings available for each section to allow you to customize the article. The Twitter stream for the topic is very useful since you can find real live updates alongside the wiki content. This provides a nice combination of time-context that complements the content that you are reading. You can also post and add comments to contribute relevant information.
