Ahh…..one more site to introduce to you guys. It’s The Visual Thesaurus. This is a dictionary/thesaurus site with something very different. It has a “thinkmap” of words! Sort of like an easy way to visualize words and phrases. If you key in a word, it will branch out to other related words, definitions, synonyms and continue on, you get a more concise understanding of the word and it’s uses. As it is said on their website, writers use it as an “ideas generator”, while marketers use it to think up new names or slogans and teachers use it to spice up their lessons.

But this is not a free service. It cost US$19.95 per year for the online version. But I tried their little trial and was impressed. Anyone willing to sponsor me for a whole year?
