Pozium.com : 100-story-building Elevator Pitch

3 points by intellegacy ↗ HN
Pozium.com aims to be the world’s tome of wisdom, a website that collates life’s best stories, truths, and intellectual concepts, and enables us to share our intellegacy (intellectual legacy) with the world and with posterity.

Pozium in seven words: intellectual discussion with entertainment, wit, and fun.

One feature will be our “Best Practices” content, guides anyone can use in order to self-educate and self-improve. Imagine how many people are mired in ineffective practices or beliefs, and the untapped gains. The possibilities are unimaginable. Pozium will be like an updated bible, or a provincial version of HHGTG.

Other feature: Author Pages Each author, intellectual, writer, artist, or joe has his own page, which functions as “intellectual network” homebase: their blog posts, authored books, essays, papers, CV, academic and professional credentials. Each author can maintain an open-ended Q&A, similar to reddit’s IAMA sessions.

How is Pozium different from Wikipedia? Quora? Pozium serves a different niche - those who can’t contribute to Wikipedia or can’t and won’t join Quora. Pozium is for both the expert and the layman. And whereas Pozium’s authors can display their insights on their own pages, Wikipedia’s contributors labor anonymously. Much of the character and humor is lost in Wikipedia’s editing process. Pozium’s content will have a more human side to it, which can further cement the content or advice in a reader’s head.

Who am I? I am just a man with a vision. Nothing more, but not less.

Why should you join me on this quest? You should join me if you value the chance to be part of something bigger than ourselves, worthy of looking back upon with pride. Currently, I am seeking members of the founding team. Developers, designers, content-writers- anyone who wishes to contribute.

If you are interested or have any comments to offer, please join the thread. I am ready to discuss pozium.
