Having taken a look at the Top 1,000 Web 2.0 sites link, they are clearly not on there. I hopefully will be joining Yuuguu to interact with their existing user base and drive marketing for new users. We are presenting at the Macworld 5 day event in San Francisco, and will be on Mac's preferred list of must see exhibitors. Anyway, take a look at www.Yuuguu.com if you have not done already and it would be great to hear you thoughts. Hi Matthew,

One advantage over Google's "define:" operator is that it categorizes the references, so I can choose, say, the medical meaning of a term, not the plumbing meaning.
