From the vault: I do like this visual thesaurus tool/website http://www.visualthesaurus.com. Creatively it’s never easy finding that perfect word but this tool makes life a lot easier. Hopping between words is effortless and the definitions are always to hand. The default animation can be a little distracting at times but you can tweak the settings somewhat. The only downside – trial is pretty short, and then you’re up for $2.95 per month or $19.95 a year.

Strange – I went looking for http://www.visualthesaurus.com just last week after I came across an application that uses a similar approach to visualise federal government procurement data – http://team7.govhack.net.tmp.anchor.net.au/. The execution is not quite as slick, but the general approach works.
