Lingoz: A Social Network Dictionary

Lingoz is a collaborative, online dictionary where users are encouraged to participate by contributing terms and definitions, as well as by voting, commenting and aggregating words into helpful glossaries. Lingoz is being launched with a sensible set of social/UGC features: Terms can be submitted or requested. Voting on content quality is performed with a simple thumbs-up/down. Users can also define brand-new glossaries themselves, or request ones to be created. Glossaries may prove quite sticky as there are virtually an infinite number of potential themes that can be built out (think Web 2.0 terms, 60’s Hollywood actresses, etc).
