  • Gavi, this is awesome work. And a good set of categories. The next category I guess would be music. The user should be able to start typing band or album or track title and be able to narrow down on tracks. You should be able to plug into the CDDB!

  • Thats a great idea. I think FreeDB is where i should look

  • And you should consider changing the name from Dictionary to something else given the growing scope. Maybe InstaFind! - short for Instant Find! :)

  • This is exactly what Google should be doing, the Objectgraph Dictionary should be a feature on Google.

    Anyway, if you have a dream to sell your idea to Google, you should go for it, because a lot of very smart people hold their dreams inside, but let them out when something in their life challenges them. Blogger sold its company to Google.

    Check out this Dream Dictionary.

    This quote is good, too!

    Google this phrase "Gah Gah Over Google" and press the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.

    Pass on this message to six of your best friends!

    "Believe in yourself and in your dream, Though impossible things may seem Someday, somehow you'll get through To the goal you have in view. Mountains fall and seas divide, Before the one who in his stride Takes a hard road by day Sweeping obstacles away Believe in yourself and in your plan Say not - I cannot - I can The prizes of life we fail to win Because we doubt the power within..."

  • Not sure if you are aware of this, but IMDB I believe also provides a downloadable database of all movies. That may be another good category to add to your app.
