Worthy Wordie

Another great site for word lovers, Wordie.org is sort of "like Flickr, but without the photos." Instead of uploading photos, you add in words. Your favorite words. Your least favorite words. Words that make you laugh.

It's actually more like del.icio.us in that they also post the most-used words, recent additions to lists, comments posted, and the most frequent users. "Mellifluous," "schedenfreude," and "sesquipedalian" are among the most frequently used words (at least today--check out the Wordie Hot 100 for the all-time greats), but recent lists include "Usually Forgotten," "Writer's Block," "One word, many meanings," and "Words that Crack Me Up."
If you have ever experienced the pleasure of rolling a new word around on your tongue, Wordie.org is for you.
