Elegant Words

I’m quite interested in learning the impact of different distribution channels on the bottom line. Elegant Words was my first Web App and was a staff pick by Apple. Since it was listed in the Apple directory, I’ve been continually impressed by the number of users funneled through there versus organic discovery.

openappmkt.com is a new distribution channel for webapps on iPhone. 30 minutes to push Elegant Words as test. http://bit.ly/ewOnOpenAppMktThu Aug 19 14:11:24 via webJ.J. Rohrer

The Ubiquitous Dictionary

This is not your father’s dictionary. Words come from the across the Internet and the server’s dictionary, ensuring you get a broad and modern range of definitions, usages, and contexts. See synonyms, usage samples, and original sources.

Perfect for when you are reading a book – never skip a word just because your paper dictionary is too far away or because your computer-based dictionary would mean too much of an interruption from your main task – reading. Keep it handy while reading in bed, on the bus, on the couch, but not in the tub.
