WordBot

Speaking of bots and translations, this was a really interesting site with great implications and usefulness. Wordbot loaded any page on the web, and translated and defined any given word in a variety of languages. A cross-reference to a thesaurus was also available. Now it’s down though, so this CALL4ALL.US compendium of free Web Dictionaries should definitely help to take its place!

If anyone is interested in taking over either of these projects, send a proposal to webmaster@wordbot.com
