The Merriam-Webster Toolbar

I am absolutely loving this browser toolbar. I installed it about a month ago. You can use it to look up definitions or synonyms with the Thesaurus.

A picture named toolbar_small.gif

It caches your lookups, viewable by clicking the arrow of the drop-down box. This is really useful when composing a post in Radio's WYSIWYG editor - the definitions pop up in a small separate window, so you don't lose your place.

Sorry Mac users, IE 5.0+ on Windows required.

Another bonus: a reverse dictionary for those moments when you find yourself asking isn't there a word for this?
