Resources on Internet Dialects

I've compiled a doc with a bunch of links about internet & language, with a focus on dialects &
differences, (however there's other stuff mixed in). The intention is to provide a common pool of
resources that people can use and contribute to.

If you'd like to add stuff/help out, request access to the doc!

TOC:
1. Background/General Articles
2. Scholarly Research
3. Impact on real life
4. Specific dialects
5. Resources, Tools & Projects
6. Slightly irrelevant but possibly relevant misc stuff
