A Blog Where Users Coin Random Terms

Filed under: web 2.0 — leadingzero

It has been a while since I have started a new site. So, to take advantage of this relative down time I’m experiencing I’d thought I’d introduce my new blog: 7ypo.com. This new site, pronounced ty-po-dot-com, started as a joke. I remember playing a game as a kid where we took turns giving names to random, useless phrases. Somehow, this game got lodged in my subconscious and I’ve unwillingly been playing it ever since. Whenever I come across something that is odd enough to attract my attention I spend countless seconds trying to think up a name for it. Well now it’s time to pass this mind virus on to the rest of the world.

At 7ypo.com there will be a random definition of a word that isn’t yet created (but should be) posted everyday. All you have to do is give it a name. Do this by signing up for our comment system and leaving your suggested name as a comment to each post. You can then vote on other peoples’ terms with handy little arrows beside each comment. The term with the most votes automagically floats to the top. After a week’s time, the term with the most votes is declared the winner. The thread is then closed and a new word is born. Sound simple enough? Then check out the site. You just may like it.

  1. Just found your site by accident doing a search for something completely unrelated! Checked out a few of your articles and you have some good stuff here! Added your RSS feed to my google news reader, looking forward to reading more.
