You probably didn't know this site existed, and that it's as useful as dictionary.com and thesarus.com. The Rhymezone is quick to become the poet and songwriter's killer app. I wish it had better dictionary integration though.

But it can't find a rhyme for "orange" - what good is it?

I already knew that Haughey (pronounced 'howie') rhymes with Maui and wowie, but what's a borowy? Wendell rhymes with Gregor Mendel, but kirkendall? I've known people with that last name and they always emphasize the "Kir", not the "ken", so that's not a real rhyme at all.
And look what it rhymes with Meta... Cheetah? Nakita? Velveeta? I don't think so.
It looks to me that the Rhymezone is still as far away from being really useful as The Babelfish
