What is a Geek?

So I have this new tool called the Visual Thesaurus. I encourage you all to check it out. It reminds me of the Flickr Related Tag Browser we discussed at a previous Geek Gather. I think it has tons more potential than its current version.

But, I thought I’d look up just what exactly is a Geek according to them.

Geek

The result wasn’t altogether disheartening, though it lacks a certain something… I don’t think we’ll use it’s definition in our bylaws.

A cool function is the ability to save these definitions or email them directly. A good tool for teachers in particular.

  1. This rocks man. Thanks for refreshing my memory on this site. It is a lot of fun to play around with and more fun than the regual thesaurus.

  2. I used to have a tag-line on my Web site that went “Biting the heads off digital chickens since 1970.” It was a reference to both our definition of geek and the original carny definition in one fell (albeit lame) swoop.
