Jane's Pick of the Day: KallOut

30 July 2008

KallOut

What is KallOut?

KallOut is the first application to bring "selection-based search" to any web page, email, presentation, document, spreadsheet or PDF. Unlike other search methods that are trapped inside the browser, KallOut serves up content from the most popular sites on the web inside floating information palettes). Using only your mouse, you can now avoid the disruption of launching a browser and let KallOut bring you the best the web has to offer.

How do you use KallOut?

KallOut is designed to seamlessly integrate into the everyday tools you already use. There is NO learning curve. Instead of copying text and then pasting it into a browser whenever you want more information, you just select text and KallOut does the rest.

Thanks!
