Collected links for the wordies out there. You know who you are.

By on December 9, 2006 | | Comments and Trackbacks

Saturday morning links on the love of words:

# Cory Doctorow in Forbes on the future of books and publishing and the (not?) Dead Medium: “I’ve been giving away my books ever since my first novel came out, and boy has it ever made me a bunch of money.”

# Wordie.org OMG, it’s like a social flickr site for words! here’s two of mine: “aa“, “bobulated” (okay, one of these I made up).

# Ze Frank on scrabble: priceless.

# oh also, did you know you can type “define: anything” into google and google will return only definitions? try it yourself

what are your favourite word links you’ve come across?

    Have you checked out Googleschaden, “the shame that comes to pundits and consultants from incorrect past statements”. And of course wonkosphere, which is a word I personally hope to propagate further.
