The Big Word Project — 'Find the word that defines your website'

I got all excited when I read about this clever concept in the new (May, 2008) issue of Wired magazine.

Mathew Honan wrote, "When you buy a word on thebigwordproject.com, you can link that term from the dictionary-like site to any other site, when then becomes the word's new 'definition.'"

So cool!

I woke my crack research team from its collective stupor and told them to purchase joe instanter.

Alas, joe's taken.

You could look it up.

I then thought, why not buy blog — but guess what, that one's taken too.

Then I thought maybe I'd purchase anesthesiologist but right when I was about to pay $16 for naming rights (it's a buck a letter), I thought to myself, who in their right mind is gonna go to thebigwordproject.com website and click on anesthesiologist?

So I didn't.

Doesn't mean you can't, though: be my guest.
