Google Launches Online Dictionary Service


googledict

Geek.com is reporting that Google has now officiallyentered the online dictionary service.  For about as long as I can remember Google being in existence, it has been possible to look up a word using the “define: …” formatting when entering a search term.  This would pull in definitions from all over the internet.  Google’s new dictionary service, found at http://dictionary.google.com, is a bit more streamlined as the picture above illustrates.  Simply enter the word you need defined in the search box and off you go.  You will be presented with definitions from both Google’s repository of answers and those found on the web.  Also handy is the ability to search in multiple languages, and to perform language to language searches.  Be sure to check this one out and add it to your Google toolbelt!
