Defithis adds the ability for your users to look up words from your content on Google (and other services). When they highlight a word, a small bubble will appear over it which if clicked, pops up a window where it's explained what the word means. If you read the online version of NYTimes, you know what are we talking about. Note that even though this plugin is similar to the NYTimes gadget, it's not the same. The plugin is way smaller in size and does not rely on any Javascript framework. The plugin adds its admin the ability to choose between services which provides the definitions, in the first release we put 3 services: Google (recommended), Dictionary.com and Answers.com.
