I think there's already some SQL versions actually - I remember seeing mention of MySQL on one of the pages somewhere anyway.

 

Yup, here you go:

Would be nice to cut down the 1.5 seconds to download the data though - means the page takes three seconds to load.


Just slap an animated gif on with a little spinny thing and then they will know that they're meant to wait. You could even have it say "Stealing content from dictionary.com..."

:D


Unfortunately it's as much for my own use at the moment, so I'd prefer to get it faster if I can.

Not exactly useful to this thread, I don't suppose, but I very much like www.visualthesaurus.com and if you're crafty you can keep using it even though it's jut a demo I seem to remember.

Yeah, if that was better implemented (and free) it'd be good. It's too slow and jiggley and limited for me to like it though.

It is pseudo-free as I mention. You don't have to pay as long as you don't want to follow a word more than about 4 drills down. However even if you do, you can get to the 4th stage down and then take the word you're working on and plug it back in again.

 

I'm also not sure what you mean by "better implemented"?

 

Plus I wasn't necessarily suggesting you use it for this, but I have found it a useful site in the past and couldn't resist mentioning it.

That's not free, it's just a workaround that lets you avoid paying money.

And I mean that the concept is an interesting one, but the way they've done it is crap - as I said, it's slow, jiggly, and limited; you can't organise the words - they spring back; it's really slow; you can't have multiple webs on the screen at one time; clicking stuff takes too long; it only shows a limited number of synonyms; and did I mention how slow it is?
