Word Buddies
================
Here is a **real story**:
> **Cihan** and **Aylin** are living together in beautiful Berkeley.
>
> Cihan works at a high-tech company in San Francisco;
>
> while Aylin goes to school at UC Berkeley for her Phd. degree in Law.
>
> Often times she comes across interesting English words at school which she wants to practice and learn.
>
> Since some of the words and terminology are used in both of their subjects, this would benefit them both.
There was one little problem, though:
> There wasn't an easy way of sharing words with each other throughout the day,
>
> other than sending whatsapp message or emails. Both of which, suck.
Here, at **WordBuddies ™**, we will…
* present lists of words in an intuitively **accessible** way;
* With **fun**;
* and with **competition**.
**WordBuddies** is (*or, let us say, "will be"*) an addictive platform for all word-lovers.
> You will learn vocabulary using the **BuddyEffect ™** and **gamification**, without even realizing that you do!
…
**ahem** \'nuf hints already, wait for the hackathon demo **;)**.
