Google Definitions

September 10th, 2009

Many of you may already be well aware of google definitions… apparently its been around since 2007. I stumbled across this tonight (this morning) and thought it was pretty neat. The search format is as follows:

definition:programmers

definition:micah

*notice the related search shown for “micah moore”. I guess I need a better last name. 8-)

This could quite easily be utilized for a dictionary feature inside your own software… granted its not a webservice, and there is no doubrt in my mind theres one out there, but it isn’t a far fetched idea to query the page and parse out the definition with a simple regex.

-peace & keep on programming
