Would You Like to Know More? 1.0 for Firefox - Forum Bot - 12-14-2006
Proper Noun Parser
The extension is a Proper Noun Parser for online articles. It is a small button that is installed at the foot of Firefox. When you click on the button “Would You Like to Know More?”, the extension parses the current online article you are reading for Proper Nouns. When it finds a Proper Noun, it puts it into a list and if you select an item, it will automatically search google for more information.
For example, if you are reading an article on the new Superman Returns DVD, the extension will list Superman Returns, Kevin Spacey, Clark Kent, etc. If you select Superman Returns, it will search google in a new tab.
Yes, it is inspired by the 90's film "Starship Troopers".
