Wiki

I did a classsroom project which was based on the concept of wiki, the collaborative, based-on-trust website. I came across quite a few of them lately. I think they are going to be very focussed and very useful ofrspecific short-term purposes and some limited edition purposes too..
a nice wiki url : http://wiki.helpware.net/

Translation

I was browsing for a tutorial in flash and came across a french page. the google automatic translation feature, in an instant crossed language barriers to give me what i wanted.. just reading the pages from a european or a japanese server makes me high these days. its the translation technology that will help us to know other worlds on our good'ol earth.

Prefix

I am doing some reaseach on Unicode fonts for a project of mine. Seems its quite an interesting thing. One can view any webpage of any language with just one font installed. With the internet connecting people from different partsof the world, it should also be able to make easy for us to know about what people from other countries express and how they express it. Translators will be one of the next big things for information sharing purposes.

ps: UNI is a nice prefix. It make both UNIversal as well as UNIque, UNIverse as well as UNIt, any others ?
