Word Source - Dictionary 2.0

There’s a new dictionary on the web, and it’s cool, it’s not beta, but it’s social and I think I like it.

wordsource

Word source, is a new online dictionary with some features that aren’t normally associated with dictionaries.

First of all, it’s very easy to use, all you need to do is type www.word.sc/(word) into your browser to look up for definitions and thesaurus entries; Besides, the site itself has a zen-like appearance, has no ads and is more or less to the point.

Then, there is the 2.0 part of the dictionary - they call this wordsourcelive, you can “like” or “dislike” any word in the dictionary, you can tag a word, you can associate a picture to any word in the dictionary by uploading it and of course, in the process, you can become a part of the newest social network idea on the web.

  1. This is funny - what social network idea will they come up with next? Are we are going to create social networks based on everything on the net…
