Have you ever found it boring or mundane to flip through a hard copy of a thesaurus or dictionary when you want to read everything related to that particular word. A better and reformed way of doing it is by using Visual Thesaurus. This is an intelligent web application which not only gives you the meaning of the word but also the branched out words to that based on semantics and word choice.

How many of you like to follow instructions!

Don't worry or fret, as by instructions I did not mean orders which you need to obey or follow. There is a really cool website which I came across where passionate people share what they do and how they do it. Isn't that amazing about having ready steps to make your favourite food dish or even a puppy robot and more. Instructables has information on categories such as food, living, outdoor, play, technology and what not. You can build almost anything you are passionate about!!

You can subscribe to their e-newsletter which is at the bottom of the homepage. Also check out the team behind this cool concept at http://www.instructables.com/about/
