Default AnswerTips is so cool

I love AnswerTips on my blog. AnswerTips™: Definition and Much More from Answers.com

This is a cool widget that, when placed on your blog, allows your reader to doubleclick any word on your page - any word AT ALL - and get a popup that gives them a definition of the word, or cultural references. For example, doubleclicking the word "disorder" gives me a tiny popup with the definition of the word "disorder" on it.

Clicking the word "Brother", contained in the phrase "Big Brother", however, gives me a detailed article about George Orwell's 1984.

See this in action at my blog: One Girl’s Blog

It's a nice idea. But how many people would actually double click a word while reading?

I wouldn't think to double-click words while reading, but if I was a regular reader and saw that you'd added the feature or if I stuck around long enough to notice it in your side bar, I bet I could have some fun with it. It's an interesting concept.

very good idea indeed. but how useful is that? won't it overload page with useless content?
