Some of you may have noticed that I installed AnswerTips on the blog a couple weeks ago. You can now double-click any (unlinked) word in any post (including this one - try it out) and it will trigger a bubble with instant information about the word/phrase.

The tool is also capable of performing a contextual analysis. If you double-click on the word “Jones” in each of the names below you’ll get 2 different biographies because it takes into account the words before and after the one you double-click.

If you have a blog or website I recommend integrating this free tool into it. Not only is it a cool feature but it can help keep visitors on your site/blog. They no longer have to run off to Google to get information about a term or person you mention on your site. You can get the javascript code to add it to your site at http://www.answers.com/main/answertips.jsp Then copy and paste the code into the pages you want it on.

Here’s what it looks like in action:
