Neil Gaiman just made several people very happy on twitter by asking for help in translating a few Latin phrases. The top prize would seem to go to Tim Spalding of Librarything fame (a little site we reviewed many moons ago).
I was behind the game doing some necessary housework and having phone problems, so didn’t have much luck in impressing my hero with my mad Latin skills, but it was still a very cool experience and one that would have been impossible without twitter.
And to think I’d twice before tried twitter and written it off.
