Mashpedia: A dynamic real time encylopedia

Mashpedia which is really useful to carry out some research as it collects and collates information in a very dynamic way, which is very different from the way Wikipedia does it

Most times when we look up some specific information about a very large company or place, the best place seems to be Wikipedia. But Wikipedia is updated quite frequently but the content in Wikipedia is very definition oriented. That means we get a very basic idea of something we are researching. I came across this website called Mashpedia which is really useful to carry out some research as it collects and collates information very dynamically in real time.
