a broken thought

For the last week or so, I’ve noticed Google linking to Answers.com instead of Dictionary.com. I’ve got to say, I really like the switch. Answers.com still supplies definitons, but it pulls information from other sources like Wikipedia to really flesh out the search. Take “ribosome” for example. They start by giving several definitions, then a whole encyclopedia article on the subject.

I like it so much that I’m adding Answers.com to my Firefox Search Bar. If you use Firefox, and would like to add the Answers.com search tool, click here to automagically install it.function installAnswersSearch(){var path=’http://download.answers.com/pub/moztoolbar/’; if((typeof window.sidebar == “object”) && (typeof window.sidebar.addSearchEngine == “function”)) {window.sidebar.addSearchEngine(path + “answers.src”, path + “answers.png”, “Answers.com”, “Web” ); } else {alert(”You don’t have Firefox yet.”);} }
