Twick.it was an online glossary consisting of statements up to 140 characters. The user-generated definitions were ranked by agreement and disagreement votes. Twick.it was called an "explain engine" by its community.〔 The limitation of the entries (so called "Twicks") to 140 characters was adapted from Twitter, and the idea of user-generated reference work from Wikipedia (although entries submitted by one user could not be modified by other users). Content is available under the Creative Commons License "CC-BY." The project by Markus Möller and Sean Andrew Kollak launched in November 2009 with a public beta phase and was presented at CeBIT 2010.〔 Since the end of 2009 print media and radio broadcasts reported about the project.〔 In 2010, Twick.it won the second prize at the German Social-Media Award.〔 By October 2011, over 18,000 explanations (mainly in German) had been created. In June 2012, the owners announced the discontinuation of Twick.it as of August 2012〔()〕 because of lack of interest.〔Sean Kollak, Markus Möller: "Wir danken für die tollen Jahre mit der Erklärmaschine. Herzlichen Dank an alle, die uns auf diesem Abenteuer in 140 Zeichen begleitet haben." http://twick.it/ (archived at http://www.webcitation.org/6AbC0ZqjU)〕 == Technology == The platform was programmed in PHP with a MySQL database. No frameworks were used on the server side. In the frontend, the JavaScript frameworks Prototype and Script.aculo.us were used. An open REST API allowed external applications to access the existing entries.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Twick.it」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
