Wordia.com is new and it is an online website that presents word definition through video clips. It is a participative website where you create an account then create your video describing a word, e.g. Beer, Hangover, etc. and then upload it to the site.
This website is unique because dictionaries have always been textual. Before dictionaries were made available online, we used to own hard cover dictionaries that weigh heavier than a decent laptop. With Wordia.com, it displays the meaning of a word in text, its synonym and then you watch a video of someone describing the word. It adds another dimension to the joy of learning words. I think some of the videos on Wordia.com are done by professional actors. So if you are up for it, you can create a video, add humour to it and upload it to the website.
It is an interesting start-up. I hope the website will grow virally like YouTube. I included two videos describing the word invention and beer. If you have a few minutes to spare, do watch the video and let me know what you think.

wow! that’s one of those ideas i wished to have! Original idea! Really! I love it. the only thing i dont like is the website which looks too simple and barebone. A good idea should be followed by a great design.
