Visuwords

In relation with the use of StumbleUpon, I’m starting this series on good web finds - sites that you might find interesting and educational just like what I did with YouTube. But there’s a whole lot of unchartered territory out there and I thought I’d expand it to

First raid captive - Visuwords. There are a lot of online dictionaries out there but Visuwords gave it a little twist. It’s a visual online dictionary that features word and concept associations - great for those doing language studies and research (like I do). It can serve as a visual dictionary, mind map and thesaurus. Writers can also benefit from this.

It uses Princeton University’s Wordnet - an online open source database built through language researches. It uses Flash so your browser better be Flash enabled.
