Famous Last Words

A bit of a nightmare situation with the wi-fi meant I couldn’t get on Wordr all day and feed my new monoblogging addiction. Frankie and the boys at Rattle fixed up Wordr especially for our little conference, and made a sort of one-word only event back-channel here.

What Wordr does, which is brilliant, is is collects everyone’s words into an event specific ‘vocabulary’ – a word cloud if you will. It’s pretty obvious that Wordr has a predominantly English user base since the public vocabulary consists mainly of the words ‘tea’, ‘tired’, ‘waiting’, and ‘beer’.

I’m really proud though, that as well as ‘tea’, one of the most frequently used words at Playful ‘09 was ‘eargasm’. Here’s the full vocabulary from Playful this year, and here are my favourites:

1. Eargasm
2. Competitive Picnicing
3. Barnestorming
4. Ageingnerdmarket
5. Fightingandkilling
6. Fingeredfromabove
7. Amateurormad
8. Dataporngods
