Website of the Week 3/27/02

As the end of the semester draws nigh, big term papers and research projects loom ahead with a menacing certainty.

Well, students with perpetual writer’s block can catch a break at Plumb Design Visual Thesaurus.

Besides being amazingly comprehensive, this thesaurus blows away its competition with a cool 3D layout. Words that are the most closely related to your search term pop out in big, bold letters. Words with a marginal connection fade into the background.

The thesaurus also incorporates a lot of slang and popular terms, making it easier to write papers that don’t sound as if they were written with a dictionary in one hand and an encyclopedia in the other.

Be careful, though! This is the first thesaurus I’ve found addictively entertaining.

Now — go write!
