The Big Word Project could become
the next Internet zeitgeist or it could just be a
dud.
In any case, it's the novel concept of two Irish
students.
The idea? Basically it's a dictionary with the words
for sale. At a dollar a letter, to be exact. What you
get in return is that the word you buy links to a
website of your choice.
Geek and nerd were taken, so I had to settle for the
superlatives,
geekiest and
nerdiest. I'll
be keeping an eye on
Google Analytics to see whether
these novelty purchases actually translate into
traffic.
It will be interesting to see where this goes.
