AskMeNow, Merriam-Webster define mobile dictionary

Mobile search and information provider AskMeNow announced a partnership with venerable reference publisher Merriam-Webster to launch a mobile dictionary and thesaurus service enabling consumers to access definitions, spelling and synonyms via text message. Services also include Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day and Open Dictionary, a wiki service promising subscribers the opportunity to create and submit their own new words and definitions. "Our partnership with Merriam-Webster is another unique brand name offering, which makes a definition, synonym or spelling only a text message away," AskMeNow CEO Darryl Cohen said in a prepared statement. "Additionally, this partnership will help to create a significant database of customers that receive daily content through the AskMeNow SMS code, insuring a steady stream of advertising revenue for both companies."
