title: 2010 - What do you think of the name TiddlyWiki and the term "tiddler"? - gjrobert - 2013-09-15T23:00:00.000Z

  "tiddler" was a whole new word to me at first (I'm no native English speaker). "<a href="javascript:;" title="TiddlyWiki - jermolene, 15/11/2010, 17:20:58" class="tiddlyLink tiddlyLinkExisting" refresh="link" tiddlylink="TiddlyWiki" tiddlyfields="server.type:&quot;tiddlyweb&quot; server.host:&quot;http://interview.tiddlyspace.com&quot; server.workspace:&quot;bags/gjrobert_public&quot;">TiddlyWiki</a>" sounds impressive, bit funny and enjoyable.<br><br>  I like the idea to store ideas and knowledge (like dictionary entries) as small chunks in tiddlers, while preserving the ability to transclude and organize them together into a big knowledge base or long articles or even an e-book.<br>
