There are educational uses of this tool. For example, I've seen it used to teach both French and Maths. However, I've used it to tell a joke (for a very loose interpretation of the word "joke"):
{Credit where credit is due. I stole the joke from Katie Barrowman - I think!}
I like this tool but could do with a bit more information on how it all works. They clearly want to make this a child/school safe resource because when I initially tried to save my joke, was prevented from doing so and was told "Please avoid using bad word". This confused me more than a little. Eventually I worked out it was my description that was causing the problem. I initially typed: "This is what passes for humour amongst nerds. :-)" - can you spot the bad word? {Question to Mrs Blethers, and anyone else that wants to comment, should that be "amongst" or "among"?}
If you have a go - make sure you leave a comment here with a link to your creation. Have some fun this Friday... you know you want to.

I regard them as pretty much interchangeable, and prefer "among" myself. However, if you want to distinguish, it'd depend on whether or not the nerds were stationary! There's a sensible explanation here
