What we add

Graph

A glossary entry defines a term and stops there. It doesn't show where the term is actually being used or written about. We track and link every article that covers it.

Counted facts

A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used.

"Fibre Channel makes X" isn't something they can act on; they need to know the claim is real and where it came from.
