New York Times is awesome
One of my favorite Mac authors, David Pogue, writes for the NYT. Reading an article of his this morning, I noticed that they have an awesome little feature I am going to steal for my sites.
To find reference information about the words used in this article, double-click on any word, phrase or name. A new window will open with a dictionary definition or encyclopedia entry.
Yes, that’s right. Double-click a word on the web page and it pops up a window with a definition or links. Very awesome. Yes, it’s just some fancy javascript, but still, that kind of proactive thinking is brilliant…making it easier for the user to understand the article they are reading is just plain cool.
