Vocabulary.com is a site that gives definitions from multiple sources and shows the word used in a variety of real-life contexts (drawn from published material). Much more fun and interesting than traditional dictionary sites!

“The English language is forever changing. New words appear; old ones fall out of use or change their meanings. World Wide Words tries to record at least some part of this shifting wordscape by featuring new words, word histories, the background to words in the news, and the curiosities of native English speech.” –from worldwidewords.org
