TCPedia (the Twin Cities Encyclopedia) was the main ‘encylopedia’ project from 2007 to 2009, later on TCPedia was retired as it gave rise to (evolved into) the Insiders Encyclopedia project. I learned many lessons from TCPedia that were all incorporated into InsidersPedia, especially keeping things simple, streamlined and staying true to it’s main vision.
I apologies for any inconvenience you endured due to the shutting down of TCPedia. In reality, TCPedia did not go away, it got streamlined and went nation-wide and is now known as InsidersPedia, InsidersPedia can reach more people, and is much easier to use! It is also true to it’s original vision, being a local encyclopedia written by people for the people.
TCPedia was intended to be a community encyclopedia but got expanded and hosted many other services. It allowed you to publish events in a calendar of events, classified ads and also publishing members’ works (including art work, and written articles).
InsidersPedia keeps true to it’s vision of only hosts encyclopedia Pages, just as an encyclopedia should. It is streamlined and simple to use. InsidersPedia is also a nation-wide service reaching millions of people.
