Use Quicksilver to look up words

Quicksilver is like the concept of Unix pipes and redirects on GUI crack. Take a file, or the output of something, do something to it, which could be as simple as launching it, but could be any service, running it through various programs, etc... And possibly take whatever you just did and add more steps. For people who are used to thinking in documents or programs like Windows and Classic Mac OS do, it's hard to wrap your head around.. For people who are used to thinking in Streams of data, like Unix's pipe/redirects and Next/OS X's Services, QS is pure bliss.

Other than price, how is QS better than Launchbar? LB uses half the memory that QS uses for me, so I am sticking with it.

Merlin Mann over at 43 Folders has a lot of links to tutorials using QS. http://wiki.43folders.com/index.php/Quicksilver It is a great launcher and utility that just gets deeper and deeper. There is already a plugin that uses dict.org, but this is a welcome edition. This is quite possibly one of the coolest tricks I've come across yet. http://www.43folders.com/2004/09/quicksilver_app.html And to think I thought it was just another Launchbar...

i still think that butler is better and easier to use . . .
