About.com, which used to be called the Human Internet, is a network of sites on myriad topics that relies on paid human "Guides" to cover a specific topic by providing relevant content and building an online community related to their topic.

There are currently about 500 topic-sites, divided into channels, from home repair to pediatrics, all of which are led by a guide (who acts as the editor).
