As in: the bit which makes the greatest change in the value if swapped.

As in: the bit which makes the smallest change.

You mixed up bytes and bits ;)

Endianess is about bytes, not bits (at least with the machines we care about 
AFAIK). Cmp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness

Inside a byte the MSB is the first and the LSB is the last bit.

For types based on more than ony byte:
In a Big-Endian machine for a integer type with 4 bytes
the MSB is the first bit in the first byte and
the LSB the last bit in the last byte.
In a Little-Endian machine
the MSB is the first bit of the last byte and
the LSB is the last bit of the first byte.

Hope I did not make a mistake, too ;)
