4 online dictionaries with a difference
There are so many online dictionaries. But using them is a different thing altogether. Some of them ask for membership, some are full of ads. But here are two online dictionaries that are fun to use and and a bit more convenient to use than the rest.
Check out Word.sc. No, you don’t need to click that link and visit the website. All you need to do is in your browser address bar, type ‘word.sc/your word’ and click enter. There you go. It saves you the process on opening an online site homepage before entering your word to search for.
For example if you need to search for the word ‘advocacy’, type word.sc/advocacy in your browser address bar.
Word.sc also has a social networking features. You can upload your picture for any word in the dictionary (Tell your friends to look up the word genius and see your picture), rate and tag words, vote for user photos, and earn word points to redeem rewards, profile badges, and monthly prizes.
Now if you are not satisfied with this, you can check out the Ajax powered online dictionaries that will display the meaning of your words as soon as you start typing without loading a new page on your browser. I like ObjectGraph the best as it has the fastest speed. You can also check out Dictionary.hm and Define It Fast.

FYI: I’ve just published Memidex, a free online dictionary/thesaurus with extensive cross-referencing, complete inflections, simple interface, and frequent updates. It’s fast too. Nothing fancy, though (yet). :-)
