Your World of Text

A collaborative experiment. Visitors can turn up and add their words and messages to a big white page. Makes more sense if you visit the site.

"Your World of Text is an infinite grid of text editable by any visitor. The changes made by other people appear on your screen as they happen. Everyone starts in the same place, but you can scroll through the world using your mouse."
