Merriam-Webster announces Dictionary API for developers, coming to a word game near you
MERRIAM-WEBSTER UNLOCKS AMERICA'S FAVORITE DICTIONARY TO DEVELOPERS WITH NEW API
SPRINGFIELD, MASS., July 12, 2012 - Today Merriam-Webster announced the launch of DictionaryAPI.com, their API Developer Center, unlocking America's most trusted dictionary content to developers worldwide.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary API gives developers access to comprehensive dictionary and thesaurus content from a wide range of best-selling references including Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary and its popular series of grade-appropriate student dictionaries. Specialized resources include medical, Spanish-English, and English-language learners' dictionaries, thus allowing developers to integrate content into applications at appropriate age and learning levels.
"We want to empower developers with relevant, up-to-date content," says John M. Morse, President and Publisher at Merriam-Webster. "With this new API, we are providing a rich environment where developers can easily tap into authoritative content encouraging digital innovation for a wide range of products, including word games and creative new interactive educational apps, for any market- children, adults, or language learners,"
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary API includes access to definitions, audio pronunciations, example sentences, etymologies, synonyms and antonyms, and more. For more information please visit http://dictionaryapi.com.

Could a new “Want” button be coming to Facebook soon?
While Facebook is the world's largest social networking site with nearly 1 billion users, newcomer Pinterest is giving the site a run for its money. Pinterest has become something of a showcase for people's wants — the go-to site for posting what wedding dress you'd like to wear, or what cupcakes you want to eat. Rather than cede that market to Pinterest, Facebook appears ready to compete with it via its new "Want" button.
As of now, though the button appears in the code, the functionality is not yet working. After trying to add a Want button to his site, web developer Tom Waddington told Mashable, "The button displays on the site, but clicking it shows an error message. Facebook hasn't enabled any apps to publish Wants yet."
So, is Facebook currently testing a "Want" button? Only the company knows for sure. But this little datamined nugget seems to suggest that the social network is itching to give retailers a hand in better connecting you with the products they sell.
