ask.com is a fantastic tool with the cursor on a word and click and get definitions/thesareus context applications. i use it everyday for any word i come across and don't know the meaning it's just a click away.this is a very good thing.when you install ask.com make sure you add the tool bar that pops out also very helpful.

I'm happy that Google didn't get a hold of Lexico first. Like Starbucks, there is too much Google and Microsft around. But, then, I'm from their Lexico's hometown. Maybe I'm just rootin' for the home-grown company.

kregly - i think you are thinking of answers.com when you are talking about the clicking on words and the toolbar that pops out.
It is called 1-click answers and can be found at http://www.answers.com/main/download_answers_win.jsp
