What do we do
here ?
We preserve physical media ! Physical media are time capsules of the period in which they were created. They are by definition authentic and not subject to the advancing censorship that creeps into the digital variants.
How do we do that? By building a large database in which every physical object has its own reference point: movies, magazines, books, records, … Allzthings is the most detailed, interlinked, thing-based, database on the planet! It creates bridges between other existing databases and the Wikipedia project.
What if I am only interested in let's say movies ?
You can easily toggle on (green dot) the thing category you are interested in and toggle off all the rest (red dots). Thus the database will only show the things you are really interseted in !
How do we build this database ?
We try to represent every single thing in the most beautiful and detailed way possible:
by taking photographs of it, by listing the creative people that helped
creating that thing, by looking up who those people are and by detailing those
too as good as we can. That can include attaching YouTube movies to the things and
people, be it trailers, reviews, TV Spots, gameplays, unboxing movies, ...
For each specific thing we thus provide a key
reference point that will give you all the details concerning that specific
thing: artwork, catalog numbers, format, limitation, special features, …
Think of it as a Wikipedia of specific things.
We are not related with Wikipedia but when detailing people that are connected
to things (we call those the Endpoints of the thing) we practice the same
objective way of writing and when the information is already available on
Wikipedia we gratefully use the synopsis they already made, of course by
crediting them on every page.
Who is we ?
We is you and I.
The Allzthings project is built by enthusiasts adding their personal favorite
things. By doing so they make all the key info concerning that specific thing
available for the whole world.
All the things
?
As a matter of
speaking. We started with the most popular things like movies,
games, books, etc. but yes, eventually you will be able to add
your favorite bottle of beer if you’d like to share this.
Toggle on or off the things you are interested in and create your own bubble view!
But that will
take ages !
Yes and no.
Yes, before the database will ever be complete – actually that will never
happen since new things pop up every day – and no, because the database is
already there. So the place already exists but it needs your help to fill it
with more things that people care about.
What can I do so far ?
- as stated
above, Allzthings offers
the user a key reference point for
every single thing: all possible info concerning this very specific thing will
be there: artwork, packaging, all creative people behind it, languages,
subtitles, limitations, special features…
- the user can attach private notes
to the thing (for his eyes only)
- the user can add public comments and
reviews to the thing
- the user can rate the thing on a
scale from 0 to 10
- the user can make several collections
(public or private)
- the user can add things to those by just clicking ‘add to my collection’
- the user can add things to his
wantlist by just clicking ‘add to my wantlist’
- the user can sell things
- the user can buy things
- the user can add things he owns
- the user can see the relation of a thing
in relation to other things
- the user can see all endpoints
(actors, writers, manufacturers, brands, … ) and how they are linked to all
kind of things (Arnold Schwarzenegger will be linked to movies, magazines,
games … )
- the user can do all this for free
(the only cost ever is when sellers use the market area and pay a 5% fee on the
sale price if the thing gets sold. If the seller added the thing himself even
that is for free)
- the user can do all this is an add free environment: no banners, no adds, no spam
- the user can add YouTube trailers or TV Spots
- the user can add YouTube webcasts or unboxing movies
