✽ So, what happened to the Google dictionary? I'm so used to using Google to look up words I'm missing the automatic definition option that was in the upper right of the search results. I'm sure it's got to be there somewhere. But it's getting pretty cluttered on all the search engines.

Thanks for the tweet-link. This one caught my eye, for I am a regular pedestrian. Just the other day, I used Google walking maps and had to make the executive decision (which remains mine and is never handed over to Google) to reroute a walk on the fly--BECAUSE THE STREET HAD NO PLACE TO WALK.
