New Thesaurus
Wordnik has a new thesaurus.Wordnik offers a few extra features not traditionally found in a dictionary or thesaurus. It gives Flickr images that are tagged with the searched word, Twitter tweets that use the word, statistics on how many times it has been searched, and a chart of "occurrences of the word, per million words". There are also nerdy extras, such as the Scrabble score of the word. Do you know how many times the word "kitten" has been looked up? I do. (628 as of this writing).
