small decentralized

Steev pointed out that nearly all of the definitions for “Indymedia” on Urban Dictionary accuse the project of being anti-semitic or are otherwise dismissive. Today, I checked the site, and found a definition that better reflects how participants view the project while addressing the accusations of anti-semitism. Now that I notice the date on Steev’s blog entry, I realized that one of his readers may have written it, but I’d encourage readers to vote it higher in the stack.

I probably last checked Urban Dictionary when Steev posted that entry. I don’t remember it offering an interface for posting definitions to del.icio.us. (It’s kind of buried under an Ajaxamacated “email this” link.) I’ve seen a lot of sites add del.icio.us links, which seems like a good strategy for attracting geeks, but it’s interesting how the site allows you to bookmark (they need a better word) individual definitions, rather than the entire page that may contain many crappy definitions.
