Everyone refers to the set of all people within a context frame. For example, if you are at a party speaking with a group of people and you say "so, is everyone coming back to my place?", everyone refers to the people who are listening. However, if you raise your voice and address the crowd, everyone refers to the entire crowd.

Everyone can also refer to a mythical average Joe, as in "But Ma, everyone does it!"

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.

A video game cover band from Southern New Jersey/Rochester, NY. Everyone consists of twin brothers Alex and Rich Golden, and Ben Loyle.

Everyone flat out SUCK at playing music. However, they more than make up for it with their ATTITUDE. Alex, instead of buying a new synthesizer, wrote a simple program translate keystrokes to MIDI messages. The band sells shirts that say "Everyone is better than Limp Bizkit". AND they play Mega Man music.
