Twitter dictionary defines the world in 140 characters

Posted by lisacluett on 2nd March 2009

As I continue to persevere the integration of this blog and my Twitter account (and progress setting up a new work Twitter account), this crossed my desk and cought my eye.  TrendHunter.com alerted me to 140pedia who describe themselves as ‘wikipedia as described through Twitter’ (ie each definition is 140 characters or less as per the Tweet limit). The collection of definitions looks like it’s just getting started so there is a seemingly random of pop culture and web references (everything from noobs to Brokeback Mountain)

Twitter dictionary

My favourite? tl:dr.  I am going to start using it immediately!  Obvious opporuntiies to contribute to this site – add your own definitions or vote on those already there!  Thanks to Trendhunter for spreading the word!

Book on blogging – bit contradictory?

Posted by lisacluett on 4th December 2008

Given that I spend my life browsing (sometimes trawling) the interweb (thanks to GWB for that term) it’s always interesting to pop my head up and look at other sources.  This time it was the TV.  Ok so I didn’t have far to go with The Daily Show a regular fixture in our house.  Today’s guest was Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post (often cited as the most linked to blog going) promoting her new book on blogging which I have decided would be a valuable addition to the Online Journey project (for staff training).  Cheapest online source in Australia? Boomerang Books who have it for $18.00 plus delivery ($7 to Perth)
