Define Your Word

Urban Dictionary is a web-based slang dictionary which is edited by users –like YOU.

You can find definitions of words, phrases, etc. that you couldn’t come across in a normal dictionary. It looks like a normal online glossary, there are more interpretations for some words and every definition is followed by a sample sentence.

 

Btw, the webpage was born in 1999 and it has some rules that you should know before becoming one of the editors. First of all, you must provide a valid e-mail address. However, your post must be approved by other registered editors who either accept or reject your submitted definition. If there is no problem with your recommendation, it will be published online in the dictionary. The editors have the right to supervise definitions, hereby it could happen later that your suggestion is considered to delete. To make it more complex, in the case if your idea seems popular by voting (there is thumb ‘up’ and ‘down’ button) your entry cannot be deleted.   

Today, you can find more than 5.6 million definitions on Urban Dictionary. Editors receive approximately 2,000 suggestions per day. The site is visited by 15 million people per month and 80% of web users are under 25.  

AEGEE - European Students' Forum

"AEGEE is a student organisation that promotes co-operation, communication and integration amongst young people in Europe. As a non-governmental, politically independent, secular and non-profit organisation AEGEE is open to students and young people from all faculties and disciplines – today it counts 13.000 members, active in more than 200 university cities in 40 European countries, making it the biggest interdisciplinary student association in Europe."


My first experience with Aegee was a traveling summer university last year in Izmir, Turkey. There I gained friends who I still sometimes get together with, got to know another culture and had a wonderful time at the most wonderful beaches of the Aegean Sea. If you feel like taking part in thematic workshops, meetings and summer universities with young, open-minden people at various locations in and outer Europe, join today! Visit the homepage of Aegee or drop a visit at the Aegee Budapest office at Corvinus University.

Video blogging

The ‘new’ way of blogging is vlogging. Actually, the first video that was posted alongside a blog entry happened in 2000. And then, 2004 was announced as “the year of the video blog”.

Vlogging is simply a blog through lens. Vidding can be made for different reasons: it can be either personal or professional. If you would like to create your own video blog, you will need a theme first of all, and a recorder of course. Your vlog will be good if you passionately care about your topic. If you want to maintain the interest of your vlogs’ visitors, then come up something new from time to time and don’t let your audience to get bored. After giving a catchy title to your video, you can share it via You Tube or Vimeo.  

Do start vlogging!
