It’s official: the word “selfie” was declared by the Oxford Dictionary the word of the year. After being introduced officially in the dictionary this year, “selfie” managed to become 2013’s word, beating “twerk” in the final race. This is no surprise, but a recognition of the fast changing online environment, and its various implication on language. “Selfie” went beyond a social media niche term to a widely used word, adopted by many people across the globe. Moreover, selfies are used in various ways by people in different industries. A lot of usage is just about having fun, about seizing the moment. Regardless of where they work and who they are, many people use selfies as a reminder of a special moment spent with a dear friend; a visit to a famous tourist sight; or any other meaningful moment. Many great communicators use selfies to engage and spark conversations.
