The unability to sleep due to much interest in the world around you. Common distractions are video games, television, movies, books, magazines, newspapers, facebook, youtube, twitter, blogs etc.
Before I could sleep last night I had to update my Facebook status, my Twitter page, check five news sites, create a post on my blog, reply to eight emails, comment on a forum, watch the latest recommended clips on YouTube and try to find out what Google Wave is really good for. I'm a true informasomniac.
Derived from the French word for "computerized," informatise is a blend of inform and advertise.
Informatise means to advise and educate about the helpful uses of a product or service in a way that is not propagandistic or mindless.
The process of informatisation aims to enhance the knowledge base of its target audience thereby enabling them to make more informed decisions.
Informatisation usually takes place through or with the aid of a technological medium such as a tablet PC like Apple's iPad or iPhone.
Using his iPad, the guest lecturer informatised the first year medical students about his company's latest product, which he believed would improve the quality of life of thousands of people.
An informal editor might allow for sloppiness or inattentiveness, but an "informalist" consistently edits for less capitalization, formatting, punctuation and verbosity.
The informalist editor and the minimalist writer work well together because neither tolerate fluff.
An absolutely foolproof way to keep minors from viewing content deemed "too mature" for them to watch.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
