AOL should buy this company, it could be the ICQ of searches.

<< Company brings hyperlinks to new level..A THREAT OR SHOULD INKT BUY IT?
ZDNet

An Israeli firm is releasing software this week that could change the way people get instant information on the Internet.
Jerusalem-based Guru Israel's Gurunet software lets people hyperlink to instant facts and figures by holding down the Alt key while right-clicking their mouse on any word on a Web page. It saves users from having to wade through search engine-generated information by bringing the facts directly to the desktop.

For example, Alt-right-clicking on the word "Indonesia" will bring up a small box in the foreground of the Web page containing a dictionary or encyclopedia entry of the word. Clicking on the word "Intel" will bring up information about the company along with links to stock quotes, company background and recent news. And if users click on the word "Bruce Willis" a little bio of the star will pop up, plus links to information about his movies.

The software works with nearly every word in the English language -- from either the Internet or a Windows program. The company plans to make it available on other operating systems and in 15 different languages in the future.>>
