Wordnik (project)

When I first accessed Wordnik I thought it was just a dictionary, but after I looked more into it, I was completely drawn and fascinated by the amount of work that actually went into this website. It can be seen as a dictionary but so much more better, ridiculously easy to access and totally flawed.

You type in the definition at the front page e.g Hello, and straight away it gives you the definitions from different dictionaries, then you look to the left you see examples of 'hello', you see slideshows and what other people wrote about 'hello' from other website, this can be seen as resources.
When you scroll down you find 'Etymologies', then 'Related Words' and it gives you option to sign in and add your own related words! Under Related Words, there are Synonyms, Hypernyms, Rhymes, Reverse Dictionary, Tags, Tagging and Wordmap which is word visualisation, and next to each of these sections there is word counts on how many resources are there.
Next is 'Lists' anyone who is a member can make this, this 'List' shows how many people have made lists about 'Hello'. The member can access and add people to their own list.
Below this are 'Comments', these comments are from members, their own opinion about 'Hello', some people even wrote poems about it. Left of 'Comments' are 'Tweets', you can tweet the definition on Twitter or 'Tweet' section shows you what people on Twitter has wrote about on your word of choice and you can expand these tweets by clicking on them.
Below 'Lists' are 'Images', these images are uploaded by the users and pictures depend on on what their view of the definition is.
After 'Images' are 'Audio' the shows the reader who the word is pronounced and different accents on the way the word is pronounced.

I think this website is very useful, educational vice and general vice. It gives you all these resources, opinions of others easily laid out and so easy to access to. It can especially used for assignments and for revision.
