Best of Visual: visuwords

New media deserve new formats, even when the content itself does not change. Well understood by the makers of Visuwords, an online graphical dictionary. It is like a dictionary, but different. It shows in beautiful graphs in which ways words are related, which different meanings a word might have and so on (try “work” or “great”).

A small legend makes it easy to use, at least a lot, lot, lot more easy than with the traditional dictionaries, which are difficult to decipher.
