Here's an idea for a sister site to Everything... Everyone.

The idea is for everyone to be able to have a conversation with people that are logged on.

Everyone does this by recording phrases from previous conversations and recycling them.

Instead of voting for nodes like on Everything, the more common responses are more highly ranked, and thus more frequently used.

If the input phrase doesn't exist, Everyone just picks a random phrase from all phrases in the database, meaning that it should develop "conversation threads" more quickly.
