The Visual Thesaurus team is very pleased to announce an exciting new feature: Wordlists! You can use these interactive lists to learn, share and -- most of all -- have fun. How do you get started? It's easy. See the Wordlist box in the right column on the home page? Subscribers, just click on the "new wordlist" button and away you go! Or, if you prefer, you can pull down the "my wordlist" bar in the Visual Thesaurus application. Not a subscriber? Please peruse the Wordlists created by members of our community.
We encourage you to give Wordlists a spin! Try it, explore it, play with it -- and check out the lists other subscribers have created. Our new Wordlists are still in "beta," which is computerspeak to mean we're continuing to develop it, fix possible hiccups, and add more features. We'd love to know what you think about Wordlists. Please send us your comments in the section below. We welcome all your thoughts and suggestions! Thank you for your support, the VT team.

Just a comment / query. Is there a quick way of adding words from other people's list into my own? I have tried dragging into my Wordlist but this does not seem to work.
Regards
Graham (Grahfol)
I do not seem to be able to discover anything about the words in any of the published Wordlists without typing them into the application by hand. My cursor indicates that each word in the list is a link, but nothing happens. Could this be because I am using a Mac? I use Safari as my browser as Internet Exprorer on my Mac does not seem to handle your site very well (the left hand frame spreads out over many pages). I can try this on a PC, but probably not until next week.

Graham
Thanks.
Subscribers, just click on the "new wordlist" button - also not there
you can pull down the "my wordlist" bar in the Visual Thesaurus application. .... again, not there
Comments by subscriber Chris Kuczynski on February 13, 2007 08:22 am, are the same concerns as I am having, none of the "wordlists" are there as advertized
I'm basically the kind of person who reads dictionaries, likes to analyze essays for word choices found in different articles, and I can't help proofreading everything. So, I just subscribed this morning, and after my very first try, well, I'm thunderstruck! To see this "spider" open up with all those lovely connecting definitions, synonyms, verbs, nouns......!!
I then set it up to give me french definitions, a language I've successfully taught myself over the years and am still working on, and it's simply amazing! I love this program already. I do hope that in the future more will be done for use in french, i.e, type in french words and get english definitions and sentences, etc.
I really can't say enough -- I will, though after I explore some more -- in the meantime this program is FABULOUS (I need a better word, but it's going to be fun finding it). Thanks
Your articles are outstanding.
I am having bunches of fun.
