#1 Yeah, cool. But what good is it? I don't see how this has any advantage over a normal thesaurus.

(I want to like it, really I do!)

#2 The type of relationship between the entered term and its synonyms and antonyms is shown, as well. You have to dig into the site and read all the features to find it, but this is pretty cool. I'm just a visual creature, I guess, heh.

#3 .com: You need to check out Inxight Software. It's a Xerox PARC spinoff that has done some amazing visualization tools. The Visual Thesaurus stuff looks like a rip off of the hyperbolic tree.
