An Interesting Spin on Definition Search

A new dictionary site called
It delivers a combination of definitions, examples, real time (via Twitter) results, related words, images, and a lot more all on one page. For example, if I search for "cup" I am presented with a list of seventeen straight definitions:

Below that are the latest tweets with the word "cup," a related words area, images from Flickr, and a "fun and games" section, which tells me the word "cup" is worth 7 points in Scrabble.

Beyond these things are stats, tags, etymologies, pronunciations (including audio, which is very cool, and you can even record your own), and word families. Each main section allows you to expand it and get more results. For example, while I may only see a couple of tweets from the Real Time section, I can simply quick on the Real Time From Twitter heading and get a whole slew of recent tweets.

Worknik is currently in beta, and is actually open to other descriptions for the site beyond "dictionary" if you have any ideas. Users are also encouraged to contribute to the site, so it will continue to grow. Browsing it for a few minutes, I have to say it's an interesting take on definitions. I may just have to add it to my search box menu in Firefox.
