I've always found the concept of the Visual Thesaurus intriguing:

I've never bought it though. Just played with it on-line.



I agree that the concept is intriguing. The times I've tried it, though, I've been most impressed with the paucity of its vocabulary. I'm not sure what the point of a thesaurus is if the developers only put in enough words and linkages to demonstrate the concept and never go back to put in the rest of the data.

That said, it has been quite a while since I've tried it, and it's possible that it is now a good, robust tool.
