Intertwingulation

Trust Jeremy to know a word that dictionary.com doesn't, and is only archived by Google on three different pages on the web. That's not a very popular word at all.

It refers to (at least in the context with which Jeremy levelled it at me) the practice of linking to other web-resources all over the place within your own web-content. Apparently I do it very successfully in my own blog-postings.

In direct contrast to the obscurity of the term, however, the practice of intertwingulation is very common and in my opinion, is one of the main factors that makes the "interweb" what it has become. Another way of looking at it is that I am doing the googling to save you the trouble.
