The Open University is sponsoring a new form of online dictionary based on user-generated definitions. Gone are the antique and dusty versions of what a word means. Instead, anyone can pick a word and then upload a short video explaining your version of its meaning.
www.wordia.com is where you can participate in a dynamic form of language. Just going through the word of the day is quite riveting.
What word do you dare define?

Why use a text dictionary? Be inspired with visuwords
Still on the theme of being visual I am in awe of www.visuwords.com. Once you've got over the wibbles and wobbles of the way the words appear on the screen it is fascinating how the relationships and patterns between words are shown. It made me think about how I use the meaning of words. Once you start exploring it is difficult to stop and before you know it you've learnt something.
