Aug 21 03: RIP: xrefer.com
Alas, another excellent free web service sublimates before our eyes. Xrefer.com has gone pay-only. It’s a huge search engine for a long list of dictionaries/encyclopedias/thesaurii/et c. published by Oxford University Press. Back in the day, you used to be able to investigate anything with those folks. What the hell do I do now—go to the library?
Referrals to alternative massive-searchable-information-clearinghouses would be welcomed. Why not put your favorite in the comments thread below?
