The New York Times praises the Visual Thesaurus and its thought-provoking display "Search for the word "plain'' in a conventional book-bound thesaurus, and you will find an unadorned and featureless list of synonyms on the printed page. Search for the same word with Visual Thesaurus 2.0, and the program generates an animated three-dimensional constellation in which "plain" is at the center, surrounded by synonyms and other related words. Click on the antonym "fancy'' and that word drifts to middle of the screen, where synonyms rush to encircle it in an elaborate, showy and — the people who came up with it hope — thought-provoking display." |

The Economist calls the Visual Thesaurus "a classic" "A classic in this category is the Visual Thesaurus created by Plumb Design, a start-up based in New York. Related words are linked with "virtual springs" that pull them together into a cluster. To navigate through the Visual Thesaurus, a user types in a word which pulls up a tree-like shape with the word in question at the centre, and related terms clustered around it? Definitions appear when the cursor is moved over dots next to the words. To find out more about a synonym, a user can click on it, which makes it move to the centre of a new cluster of words." |

Econtent says "check out the Visual Thesaurus." "Check out Plumb Design's Visual Thesaurus, for example. Type a word into the text box and you'll retrieve an almost intoxicating display with the word and all its various meanings and related terms. Speaking of intoxicating, try the word loaded. You'll see little branches spring forth for the concepts of affluence, laden, drunkenness, charged with ammunition, and so on." |

The Irish Times "Is there a word on the tip of your tongue? Can you describe it, hear it, almost see it, but just can't say it? Then check out Plumb Design's Visual Thesaurus - an online fusion of language, design, art and typography. By displaying relationships between words and meanings as spatial maps, this funky tool translates language into something you see, as well as say. Just drop your word into its screen and it will splash up an array of multi-coloured alternatives, all rotating in 3-D around your own word. Click on whichever suits, and get a further splash of information and colour." |

The New Yorker calls the Visual Thesaurus "the best recent advance in reference technology" "Reference books have come a long way from the days when they were unwieldy volumes with thin pages dog-eared from use. The best recent advance in reference technology is the Plumb Design Visual Thesaurus, which uses Web animation to illustrate the latticework of language. Enter a word, and the thesaurus will generate a solar system of similar words orbiting around the sun of the original term; click on one of those words, and the system will reorganize." |

Wired praises the Visual Thesaurus as putting a premium on action, dynamic typography, and design. "Duck - here comes an adjective. As you click deeper in, a similar word edges in from the right. Clearly this is not your average thesaurus. Strange stuff, perhaps, to the textual domain, but it's the linguistic way of life inside a new Java-powered word "nebula," as Plumb Design describes its Visual Thesaurus, which puts a premium on action, dynamic typography, and design." |
