Not your everyday thesaurus - Visual Theasaurus

snipenekkid · 03-19-2011, 05:52 PM

I just stumbled across this while wasting heartbeats trying to run across a word that would work to name a slate device complementary to the purpose of the Kindle. But this is a really neat way of presenting a thesaurus:

There are search engines using this same sort of interface and I find those really fun as well. Have fun!

Good find. I just spent the last 15 minutes trying random words to see how they get displayed, haha. That's instantly bookmarked.

glad ya had some fun with that one. I didn't realize it's a teaser for a paid product though. But still the free version is not too shabby. I really like seeing this stuff visually. I use a lot of "mind maps" for projects anyway. I also am addicted to using MS Visio. I guess I am hooked on graphs. And here I never liked my course on Graph Theory.

Cool idea. I might use if if it were free.

As it is I will stick to the built in thesaurus for Open Office Writer and free online sources.
