Urban Dictionary is an interesting open dictionary which enable users to define slang words. It is very interesting to look at the way people like to refer to things they see every day. An interesting fact, which is part of my research interests, is that things gets a meaning through a social network. The service support this idea providing a way for visitors to rate the definition and to promote deletion of offensive content.
About

I am currently conducting research on location-based applications. Although my main interests lie on human learning, I tend to publish in conferences such as CHI, E-CSCW, DIS, etc.
Keywords: locative media, collaborative annotations of maps, remote gesturing, eye-tracking, collaborative learning and work, e-Government, human-computer interaction, (and many more...)
