A friend of mine sent me a link today to what some are calling transliteracies. Now, I know that it isn't in a dictionary (yet), and my spellcheck hates these academic words, but I am currently stoked about it.
Why? It fills in a lot of the gaps I've been having between linking written text, the Internet, and the arts (which includes the creative writing projects I like to play with).
In a nutshell,
"Transliteracy might provide a unifying perspective on what it means to be literate in the twenty–first century. It is not a new behavior but has only been identified as a working concept since the Internet generated new ways of thinking about human communication. This article defines transliteracy as “the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks” and opens the debate with examples from history, orality, philosophy, literature, and ethnography." (Thomas, et. al, 2007)
You probably are clueless to what I'm talking about. I am excited about linking ways people understand the world that are not traditionally seen as "proper," "acceptable," nor "high brow," because they create more accessibility to populations that don't get into the linear, minority view that knowledge and literacy is academic. I coined a thought the other day, "In the world of endless senses, we must sense our world endlessly." And that is the way I want to live life.
For me, this looks like an amoeba and that is amusing for the time being.

So those hours on facebook are actually me exploring my transliterary intelligence? In all seriousness, this does sound cool.
