If you’re curious why I bring her up, I’d read a Boston Globe article published last week about the wonder of Twitter, saw her name bylined with attribution to her blog, the Dictionary Evangelist–and wondered if Erin tweeted.

Even better, for a Twitter search on her name led me to the TED talk, and that has made all the difference.

Do you agree the dictionary has outlived the book form?
