Dictionary of Words in the Wild

Geoffrey Rockwell just pointed me to the Dictionary of Words in the Wild:

a community collection of images of public textuality, specifically words outside of the usual print contexts. We are interested in words that are:

• In the public view
• In an interesting context where the location adds texture
• Visually provocative in some way
• Part of phrases that add another intersection of meaning

...You can browse the dictionary, upload your own words, and try typing in a phrase that is returned as images

What larks. Worth playing with - will be interesting to see how people are using the API as well.
