Thanks for the heads up Lyzazel! I've fixed it.

I'll check and see if there is a better way to make posting comments easier. Disqus kind of hides the comment link haha.

Congratulations on the sponsorship Neil! And interesting perspective on the Chinese woman, it looks like we all take some things for granted compared to others.

Interesting, people have been telling me Finnish is another hard language that should be included on our list. I guess it depends on your learning style.

How much funding did Jam Legend receive?

Thanks for all the help Andrew.

Quick update about Leximo, I spoke with Erin, and she suggested some other people that would be better suited for advising us that her.

Great post, bailing out VCs wouldn't help out the economy.

This is an excellent resource for language buffs! Great list.

I have a site which may be useful to other language enthusiasts.

I run a website called Leximo, and its a Multilingual User Collaborated Dictionary.

You can find information on Leximo's vision by reading the Leximo Dictionary Manifesto.

Here is the link info for my site:

I never thought about the fact that a CC license would increase search engine rankings. Thats definitely a good thing hahaha.

Do you have any suggestions ALC?

Re: The Leximo Manifesto

leximo — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 22:26:23 -0000

Well first of all, dictionary sites like Lingoz.com and Word.sc have pretty much been abandoned by their creators http://siteanalytics.compet...

In addition, all words contributed belong to Babylon. As one user put it, people contribute and Babylon gains from their work.

However words contributed to Leximo all belong to the public domain, licensed through Creative Commons. All contributions are part of a community.

Our vision ALC is to add interactivity to dictionaries by letting users interact with other users through profiles and groups. Sort of like a study group for languages. Leximo obviously isn't at that level yet, but with the help of language enthusiasts like you, Leximo will come closer. :-)

Yes we have done research on this. There's a difference between being called "social" and actually being a "Social Dictionary"

Leximo is young and growing. We appreciate the awesome review.

The more people become involved, the more resourceful Leximo will become for the world.

The problem with Wiktionary JB is that it lacks social interaction, something we plan on doing with Leximo.

We're not just building a dictionary, but we're building a community around it. Where users will be able to interact and help each other learn and discover new languages and cultures.

Some thing wiktionary is not doing.

In addition, have you tried editing or adding a new definition to wiktionary. Do you know how complicated "Markup" language is to the average John Doe.

That is a barrier that hinders their growth. With Leximo, we plan to keep everything as simple as possible.
