i see subtle changes like links in the 'add to list' list, but bugs are still occurring which is the reason this should have been available on a beta subdomain until the bugs were fixed.
when it's faster to highlight a word, copy and paste into another browser window, i'm sorry but pretty sad site functionality no matter how you try to justify it or 'get into the habit'. it sucks.
it's actually 2 scrolls and 4 clicks to add a word to a list. once to scroll down to your list on the list section, then after the 3RD CLICK to show the rest of your list, you have to SCROLL AGAIN and find in the FAINTLY COLORED TEXT your actual list, and finally one last click. wow. just wow guys. really? REALLY???
ok, just note that comment about the flow i'll remind u guys later.. its really the best way to get this site into the fast lane .. and by fast lane I mean the left lane of the German Autobahn.
having to click once to get to the lists, then click again to show my list then scrooollllll down to the list..then click AGAIN to add to the list.. man this is too much work. there are definite easier ways to do this with 1 click and no scroll (or possibly a slight scroll if you have 100's of lists).
true about industrial vs reference usage. but still the tweets are useful in a good portion of cases i've found. for example i just clicked on this one which contains a quote:
easy access to all lists should have been the number one focus, followed by the displaying of more words per page of each list and list of lists. this is what we wordnikers do primarily. everything else should be left as is as bilby stated.
..yes what he said. i didn't want to say it myself, but yes.
why not roll it out under a beta.wordnik.com subdomain so users can still go to www.wordnik.com and use the old faithful being that they may be using it as a project and this could hinder user experience and turn off finicky users. remember digg and myspace? prime examples.
sluggishness is definitely related to loading so much data on the word pages themselves at once! :/ it's too much especially when there's external http calls to flickr and such..
you should use a lazy loading technique to load external data (flickr and such) activated only when scrolling to the bottom.. something like this so the meat of the page (definitions / lists / comments and such) loads instantly like it should being that it's only text.
I've been noticing an intermittent sluggishness on the site too.. usually the server error logs have clues to the reason. anyone else experience slow performance?
fully agree with ruzuzu on lists and comments on the main page for each word. other things, i'm really not so keen on a lot of it so far. lets get the bugs worked out and see.
the new design has elements that are superior to the old design but i'm ending up having to perform more clicks to accomplish the the same tasks as before, when it should be ideally less clicks (as in one preferably). perhaps because of the bugs, but I can think of far superior ways to streamline the flow here.
unrelated question: any chance of adding a rhyming dictionary with API access? :D
bilby is correct about it being a jumped up graminoid! if you're going to include these types of edible plant material (and leaves like kale!) then you have to include spices like ginger.
as far as what is typically defined as a vegetable. but really if you want to include all edible plants you must include fruits, nuts / seeds / grains, and beans.
FRUIT strawberries, pineapples, peaches, plums, apples, grapes, cherries and blueberries.
I'll have to remember to brandish a cucumber at my next public speech. people tend to take you more seriously when you're waving a large cucumber and if they disagree you just point it at them and give them a hex.
so it looks like my lists with lotsa words aren't really loading up so well. seems to break and only show the first few words or not load at all (m.wordnik on android .. dolphin browser 4.6.1).
it's occurring when navigating from http://m.wordnik.com/p/marky yeah, so loading 1060 words on the list at once might not be the best solution for small phones.
holy crap, you're right! i've seen them both oddly enough.. got them mixed up in my head. one's a betty boop cartoon. i forgot all about that one. weirdness.
blaffy.. that makes no sense, but it's funny. the circle is the preferred shape of the cosmos due to the force of gravity, but I prefer to be open to alternatives.
yeah, practically every person who drives kills thousands of bugs a year just by driving. it's just life. the circle of life. or perhaps the triangle of life?
oh well screw it, we'll consider this confession like the catholics do. i was a kid. 7 or 8 years old, and my friend was with me. i know, believe me i feel terrible and felt terrible afterwards at the time. there were a bunch of them everywhere and people had already stepped on a couple accidentally.
incidentally i'm vegan for animal rights / anti-cruelty reasons now and I never hurt another animal afterwards. even if I find a spider, I'll pick him up and take him outside. ..oh and Kermit the Frog is one of my hero's if that's any consolation?
thanks. i don't like some of them .. well because it saved the wrong version. so, i was wondering if we could in the future have the option to delete them? like on the tags.
oh good idea.. yeah i'm just trying to delete pronunciations. i could make another account easily and just use that one. i think i could get my lists back up quickly. at the very least, i won't be doing anymore pronunciations.. it's silly anyways. :P
thanks Prolagus for the list search link, but a lot of lists aren't really named properly for their contents.. they're 'creatively' titled which isn't so good for searching. how about searching for list descriptions or tags? is it possible?
this brings up an interesting notion actually.. do librarians have a secret society where they worship dieties and practice rituals? if not, they should.
went spelunking here once, got lost and had to live there in the pitch black for 12 days eating bugs and spiders until I emerged out of the ground like a half-dead corpse digging my way out of an early grave.
ahhhh yes, ru .. i do remember it now (after reading eggbert's review). it is quite brilliant in that she has suffered from some form of identity crisis / or perhaps a spiritual enlightenment? I must watch it again soon now. thanks again!
does it really fit into the context of this list? does it contain dream sequences, hallucinations, strange worlds or any other perversion of 'reality'?
term i made up for what happens to fanboys of the highly overrated film 'Inception' who actually think that the dream levels in the film are a proven science rather than just something made up.
yes but linguists use convowel patterns which contain the actual letters or phoneme .. using the c and v only, I've never heard of that specifically. but programmatically it makes sense to me.
'discover a pattern' I like that aspect .. find out which words overlap patterns and try to develop an algorithm out of it .. the purpose still escapes me at the moment but may be useful to auto create words from the root spelling patterns. worth a thought.. for the future. noted.
convowel tags .. something like this could easily be done automatically with a simple computer script, and then cross referenced in a database to automatically add tags, but still not sure what the benefit would be. spelling in the english language is quite chaotic and tricky..
I'm very curious what the point of this is, it's very interesting to me.. seems to not particularly have to do with phonetics but spelling of the english language .. anyone want to shed light?
thanks, oddly enough I've been having discussions about Operas a lot with a friend (an older gentleman) who has been in the Opera for many many years and he's always dropping exquisite Opera terminology in our conversations, so yeah.. it's all him, I'm just a really good listener! ;)
not long, it's like lightning.. I saw the tendrils come down a bit with alternating red blue flashes reflecting in the clouds just like police car lights.. then it happened again but even bigger.. and then I saw the giant ring of red reflecting through the clouds just like the picture. I thought it was a UFO like in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I got on the net (this was in 1995) and found some edu sites talking about this phenomenon but some people thought it was fiction. I assure you, it is quite real!
I've seen alternating Red Sprites and Blue Jets up inside a giant supercell twice during the same storm in the middle of Oklahoma where they have the most massive storms ever. It was a phenomenal experience .. at the time I thought it was a giant UFO!
lol :P i just found it actually, I liked the layout and feel of it kinda, was wanting your opinion on it.. It's Murdoch??? Enough Said. Thanks for letting me know!

things i like:
1) ability to add word to multiple lists easily via a checkbox.
(good idea, bad implementation. function / placement)
2) a few list groups with words + comments on main page.
(good idea, decent implementation)
3) full site works good on my mobile (android desktop mode)

easy access to all lists should have been the number one focus, followed by the displaying of more words per page of each list and list of lists. this is what we wordnikers do primarily. everything else should be left as is as bilby stated.
the site is frustrating in its current state.
thanks PU... just saw your comment. ;)

..yes what he said. i didn't want to say it myself, but yes.
why not roll it out under a beta.wordnik.com subdomain so users can still go to www.wordnik.com and use the old faithful being that they may be using it as a project and this could hinder user experience and turn off finicky users. remember digg and myspace? prime examples.

sluggishness is definitely related to loading so much data on the word pages themselves at once! :/ it's too much especially when there's external http calls to flickr and such..
you should use a lazy loading technique to load external data (flickr and such) activated only when scrolling to the bottom.. something like this so the meat of the page (definitions / lists / comments and such) loads instantly like it should being that it's only text.

the new design has elements that are superior to the old design but i'm ending up having to perform more clicks to accomplish the the same tasks as before, when it should be ideally less clicks (as in one preferably). perhaps because of the bugs, but I can think of far superior ways to streamline the flow here.

bilby is correct about it being a jumped up graminoid! if you're going to include these types of edible plant material (and leaves like kale!) then you have to include spices like ginger.

VEGGIES artichoke, broccoli, carrots, beets, cucumbers, olives, onions, tomatoes, corn.
as far as what is typically defined as a vegetable. but really if you want to include all edible plants you must include fruits, nuts / seeds / grains, and beans.

'discover a pattern' I like that aspect .. find out which words overlap patterns and try to develop an algorithm out of it .. the purpose still escapes me at the moment but may be useful to auto create words from the root spelling patterns. worth a thought.. for the future. noted.
November 7, 2010
marky commented on the word convowel
convowel tags .. something like this could easily be done automatically with a simple computer script, and then cross referenced in a database to automatically add tags, but still not sure what the benefit would be. spelling in the english language is quite chaotic and tricky..
November 7, 2010

not long, it's like lightning..

I thought it was a UFO like in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I got on the net (this was in 1995) and found some edu sites talking about this phenomenon but some people thought it was fiction. I assure you, it is quite real!
