Microblog about English words on Twitter: three months development



Some time ago I posted a message on Habré that I was tweeting a microblog about English words.

This aroused unexpectedly great interest, and now I have about three and a half thousand subscribers. This imposed on me some moral obligations - sometimes in the evening I want to leave the birds in the pigs, and I have to look through my inventory of records to sit down at the dictionary and ... turn on the microphone.

Microphone - because some of the demands put forward by the readers themselves. First they asked for transcription. I began to translate in tweets, and then it turned out that some mobile clients incorrectly display the transcription symbols - this surprised Android .

In addition, someone (and myself) does not like to read a transcription and poorly translates it into words. Therefore, I added a small web service and began to publish at the end of tweets links to html pages with the audio tag and the pronunciation of words. It turned out great because it works on mobile devices - iPhone, iPad, Android, and any other, which browsers support html5. Immediately, I do not plan a new fitch, but I have no doubt that they will be prompted or suggested by readers.
