I stummbled across a very cool online writing tool. Wordnik will tell you several defenitions for a word as well as show you Tweets that include the word being searched. In addition to this the site also offers etymology for words as well as contextual examples and statistics of word usage. Pretty nifty.

Morgan harrington has been missing for close to a month since she was last seen at a Metallica show. Since then, Find Morgan.com has been created. It is a web site devoted to search efforts. Please view the site and photo’s. There is a person missed by her parents and family. Metallica has offered rewards for her safe return. The site contains updates, a blog by the family, press releases and more.
This incident as well as the case of Theresa Marie Meadows has she a new light on social media. It used to be missing people ended up on milk cartons but Facebook, Twitter, Digg and other tools show they have potential to be a real resource in missing persons cases.
