Wordie: Social Words

Posted in Listmania, Language by Elliott Back on December 13th, 2006. [Del.icio.us]

Wordie goes by the tagline “Like Flickr, but without the photos” but it’s much more than that.  Until you’ve tried it out, you’d never believe social word-listing could be so fun.  Like shadenfreude?  So do 127 other people, right now.  The interface is clear and intuitive; you make lists of words.  Each word has its own permanent page, with comments, and lists the people who like that word.  You spend time trolling user lists, hunting words related to the ones you like.

Here’s what the interface looks like:

If you want to try it out, the Wordie homepage, my userpage, or my word list feed!

    Interesting, but one runs the risk of overusing certain words…
