Visual Thesaurus - A Tech Approach

Quoting from the sites header

What is it?
The Visual Thesaurus is an interactive dictionary
and thesaurus with an innovative display that encourages exploration and learning.
You'll understand language in an exciting new way.
To understand the power of the Visual Thesaurus, you really need to see it in action.
Type in your favorite word and give it a try!

The site is desgined such that when you give a word for it to search it will search all its immediate meanings, these meanings are then classified on the basis of their use, which are then taken as nodes.

thus you see a node graph of all the immediate meanings of the word inputed.
Well the story just doesnt end here. On every node that is created you can double click it to also find the INFERRED meanings of the same. Thus you not only get the meanings but you can get the right meaning in the right reference of your context, all this in a sleek presentable format.

However, there are many issues regarding interlinking of nodes, when things get a bit complex, it is just a anamoly for a few words and mostly people will never end up there.

This is currently availble for a web use at apprx. 20 dollars a year. It is really worth the moolah we suggest.
