    Thanks!
11. Chris Hoskin Oct 10th at 8:38 pm

    Sounds good, and I’ll use it.

    Would be really cool if the ALT text defaulted to “Answers.com: Definition” and the link defaulted to opening in a seperate window…..

    Thanks Toni 🙂
13. Austin Oct 10th at 9:04 pm

    Hey, there you go. I like that. It makes it easier. I link to definitions all the time.
    Thanks,
    Austin @ Sundrip
14. luna Oct 10th at 9:19 pm

    Nice!
16. neath Oct 10th at 9:32 pm

    Excellent!
17. trollboy Oct 10th at 9:39 pm

18. Aguair Oct 10th at 9:43 pm

19. Wolz14 Oct 10th at 9:47 pm

    cool thanks
20. Len Gilbert Oct 10th at 9:51 pm

    Nice concept. I tried it in a test post about Wikipedia moving to San Francisco. Besides SF, Washington DC, New York, and St Petersburg, FL were all mentioned as was “Wikipedia”, founder Jimmy Wales, and London, but Answers only suggested a link to “Asia” that was buried in the text. The feature could still use some work….
21. Anurag Bansal Oct 10th at 9:51 pm

    Excellent….
    WP rocks…
22. iaoj Oct 10th at 9:53 pm

    Thank you Alex and WordPress.com. This feature sounds awesome.
    Great- Thank you:-)
23. Lyndon Oct 10th at 9:55 pm

    Cool beans! Thanks!!!
24. abarclay12 Oct 10th at 9:55 pm

    I love Alex King. He’s a genius. I’d like to link all my questions in the future straight to his brain.
25. hardrockhideout Oct 10th at 10:06 pm

    Wow…that is a pretty cool feature. I may have to try that one out!
26. Dan Taylor Oct 10th at 10:09 pm

    Alright, I’ll have to check it out. I’ve been inserting links to wikipedia myself. Thanks.
27. Rod E. Smith, MSMFT Oct 10th at 10:11 pm

    you guys are the best — the tags have significantly increased my readership — and so now a hard copy newspaper column goes out on the web and readers pick up back issues whenever they desire, rather than my trying to find back issues and email the readers. Now they will get definitions too.

    Thanks,

    Rod Smith
28. Driver Oct 10th at 10:13 pm

    that’s really brilliant!
    but why not go wiki?
    anyway, LUV U GUYS
29. Pezster12 Oct 10th at 10:14 pm

    thanx
30. grhomeboy Oct 10th at 10:35 pm

    Nice feature, thanks for providing this additional service. Much appreciated.

    Trust will add in boosting a blog’s readership [have not yet tried it, but intend to do so shortly – trust the answer will be opened in a new window] as opposed to abstract reader’s attention.

    Thanks again for thinking for us – ahead of us.
31. slimball2007 Oct 10th at 10:36 pm

    I dont know how to use it but cool!
32. FXSmom Oct 10th at 10:43 pm

    That is really cool!! Thanks 🙂
33. livingjourney Oct 10th at 10:46 pm

    For me this is the best feature! I usually find all my own definitions and this has made it heaps easier.

    Thanks heaps WordPress!

34. Scavella Oct 10th at 11:09 pm

    Oh, THIS is cool!
35. Sakib Oct 10th at 11:14 pm

    cool
36. Maverick Oct 10th at 11:15 pm

    great feature, However by default all of them open in the same window. I’d love to have an option where I can say it to open in a new window or the same window.
37. El Santo Oct 10th at 11:45 pm

    I haven’t found an application to use it yet … but it does sound like a nice feature. I like it.
38. കേരളഫാര്‍മര്‍ Oct 10th at 11:55 pm

39. miquie's crew Oct 11th at 12:02 am

    It’s a great feature and a great product placement strategy for Answers.com.

    That. Is. Awesome! Thanks!
47. Julio Fragoso Oct 11th at 1:18 am

    cmon guys

    this is insanely perfect !!

    thankz
48. ∂bsolutjoiz™ Oct 11th at 1:19 am

    Sounds really great! Now i need not go googling for definitions. Thanks!
49. enkerli Oct 11th at 1:48 am

    Mentioned it in a blog entry before using it (or seeing this blog entry). It does look interesting though I wish it could be customisable for use with other sites (including our own blogs, making it a bit wiki-like). As it is, it looks more like a way to send traffic to Answers.com than a way to easily input links.
50. Jef Menguin Oct 11th at 1:53 am

    Sounds good to me. Thanks!
51. IR Oct 11th at 2:05 am

    This is great! I’m a huge fan of Answers.com. Look forward to using it lots.
52. salahudin Oct 11th at 2:05 am

    WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW you guys pwn.

    how about a WIKI link/thingy like that??
53. Trish_Fan Oct 11th at 2:05 am

    awesome feature =D
54. podniebem Oct 11th at 2:06 am

    sounds great! pity it’s only for English
55. Nita Oct 11th at 2:26 am

    Wow, this is great! I usually turn to the wiki for definitions and this saves me a lot of trouble!
    Thanks.

57. extremusmilitis Oct 11th at 3:02 am

    Cool, nice one 😉

    Great Feature Guyss…. 🙂
62. letters Oct 11th at 5:05 am

    Vielen Dank, merci and thanks all in one.
63. museditions Oct 11th at 5:12 am

    Wow, I’m constantly linking to dictionaries, wiki, and ‘about’ mostly for tech and science terms for my philosophical audience. Super, Thanks Toni and Alex!
64. blayde Oct 11th at 5:30 am

    Woohoo, nice feature, a wiki wouldve been great as well, but this is awesome nonetheless
65. Kunal Oct 11th at 5:31 am

    this is a useful feature 🙂
66. s s Oct 11th at 5:36 am

    i don’t know what to say, that’s a total knock-out. i was so surprised when i saw this icon in the tabs!
67. Santosh Oct 11th at 5:39 am

    thanks guys
68. raymonde Oct 11th at 6:34 am

    Good work guys! 😀
69. mittins Oct 11th at 7:21 am

    first stop egregious.
70. dreamzmedia Oct 11th at 7:29 am

    hmmmm….
    sounds ok but …. not too keen….will see how it goes for others first….
71. Bala Oct 11th at 8:06 am

    Interesting, But it suggests only for very few things, rather if we can select the word and check for suggestion, it would had been great
72. kalesco Oct 11th at 8:07 am

    I would have loved this feature with wikipedia 🙂
73. Ayu Oct 11th at 8:09 am

    Sounds good! Now my bf won’t have to consult his personal dictionary again. (read=me!)
74. ideasmith Oct 11th at 8:17 am

    Amazing…you think of things that we didn’t even realise we needed!
75. Chittaranjan Oct 11th at 8:19 am

    Link? Or Pop-up showing the definition??

    Will try it out soon….Thanks
76. Monique Oct 11th at 8:59 am

    Love it! After moving from my own domain, I think this is the one wordpress.org feature I missed the most. Yay! 🙂
77. michaeljung Oct 11th at 9:35 am

    Thanks
78. Anne Oct 11th at 10:38 am

    Can’t wait to implement this one. Thanks for yet another great feature.
79. susaneb Oct 11th at 10:48 am

83. Lady Luck Oct 11th at 11:36 am

    Sounds terrific! I’ll be linking everything from now on! I wonder how many links one could get in a single post?

85. Nils Oct 11th at 12:11 pm

    Yeah ‘nice’. Just killed my post and deleted all paragraphs and links to two YouTube vids.

    I’m laughing, but bitterly.

    I think I’ll just do my own linking, though.
86. cotojo Oct 11th at 12:11 pm

    Thanks team, sounds like another great idea and very beneficial 🙂
87. trugiaz Oct 11th at 12:30 pm

    Cool stuff
88. Brent Oct 11th at 12:41 pm

    Interesting. That will save me about 20 seconds or so of work, the next time I link to answers.com…because as we all know, it is a huge pain to go there first to check if there is an entry for something even on there, and then copy and paste the URL of the search string into the WYSIWYG editor.

    Any WLW plugins for this yet?

    Sorry, my bad – it is no longer sarcastic Wednesday. Today is Thursday…
89. icedmocha Oct 11th at 1:03 pm

    Great idea. Thanks!
90. Carlos Oct 11th at 1:16 pm

    omg, that’s amazing 🙂
91. Manuel Reis Oct 11th at 1:19 pm

    Very very very very very Cool!, but you should have also a IMDb button…
92. centrocampista Oct 11th at 1:52 pm

    Handy! thanx WordPress 🙂
93. lukadium Oct 11th at 2:44 pm

    Nice feature,thanks Tony
94. invictus Oct 11th at 2:45 pm

    Great feature, thanks!

    Clue: If you get a “Sorry, we do not have any AnswerLinks to suggest at this time” at first, don’t give up and try again and again. It eventually finds the links.
95. MorningGlory Oct 11th at 2:55 pm

    Great idea,something I’m sure to use.When I ran it on my last two posts,it removed all the spaces after my punctuation marks.As a result all my paragraphs look like this one.With no spaces.Kind of hard to follow,don’t you think?It happened both times I tried it,so I have to think it has something to do with the AnswerLinks.Has this happened to anyone else?
96. Samuel Oct 11th at 2:58 pm

    Hmmm, nice.
    I would like something like this pointing to wikipedia :). I’m still doing that manually…
97. natanzuelo Oct 11th at 3:08 pm

98. ramoody5 Oct 11th at 3:22 pm

    nice!! =D me like it!! 😛
100. msayed2004 Oct 11th at 3:28 pm

     Nice , thanks

     But what about a wikipedia button (the English one or a combo box with all supported languages) ?!
     Anyway it is just a suggestion 🙂 .

     Thanks again.
