Wordle meet Brandtags

Wordle is a great tool Richard just created a nice one for Elvis



But David recently sent me this variation on a theme called Brandtags


- essentially in their words:

"The basic idea of this site is that a brand exists entirely in people's heads. Therefore, a brand is whatever they say it is.
1.5 million + tags and counting.

So it is essentially crowd sourced Wordle for Brands - the really cool bits are the 'value exchange' you have to submit a word about 3 random brands before you can then see from the list of others.

Also you can play a guess the brand game by only seeing the results then guessing the brand being described.

Dr Johnson would approve..or would he?

Wordnik looks like a great little site that has just been launched in Beta.

It is essentially a bit of a combination between a wiki and a dictionary. It aims to keep up with language as it evolves via crowd sourced references definitions and importantly contextual feeds. So if you type in a word it brings back a variety of definitions, references, pronounciations. It pulls in statistics both historical and real time, pulls examples off twitter and blogs etc and looks like a nice experiment.



I couldn't help but reference the infamous episode of Blackadder with Robbie Coltrane as Dr. Johnson.
