An Online Thesaurus Concept Map (aka the coolest thing I've seen this year)

"What's another word for ... ?"

How many times have I heard this question and how many times has it been my own voice ringing in my ears?
Well, no more! I have discovered via my LLED4120 class a new tool to substitute the worn out Shift+F7 function on my keyboard that I've used so many, many times for a thesaurus. 

This is Visuwords.com - it gives you synonyms and definitions via a concept map of connections with other words, uses, etc. It's AH-MA-ZING! Okay, it's amazing for dorks like me. 

Anyway, check it out. I recommend writing in "teach" and seeing what pops up - needless to say, I like it. :-)
