The Internet is an overwhelming source of information.

Shortopedia is a new online encyclopedia that aims for large-scale searches. Shortopedia offers you a brief overview of Wikipedia category. And it might be what are you looking for - the overview of one topic

Wikipedia has become large. Sometimes you might feel it is even too large. There are GBs of data and millions of articles. If you are searching for information about any general topic you might have problems to find what you are searching for. First you read one article and then another one. At one point you search the appropriate Wikipedia category and browse most of the articles within it to find what you are searching for. It`s too many pages to visit. This issue is addressed by Shortopedia.

Shortopedia is simple in design and therefore easily navigable.
So if you want to find which tornadoes occurred recently in America, which mainboard manufacturers exist today, which birds exist on the New Zealand or any other general topic - you might be on the right track.
It is usually quite powerful when one seeks information about any topic, which has several more subtopics or items. That is because Shortopedia is kind of encyclopedia with itemized articles about any large topic. Those data are easily navigable and one could easily find more information about each item.

Shortopedia is currently growing, and soon there will be more topics and even different languages Shortopedia will feature.
