Tech Tweaks I like - 1

The New York Times website has a simple and unique feature which I have not found anywhere else on the web yet. If you double click on a word to select it, the site pops up a window showing the meaning of that selected word. This is a simple and very useful feature that anyone would want while reading a news paper. Considering the fact that there are often umpteen words in the articles that we don't know the meaning of. This feature really makes it easy for us to lookup the meaning without having to go out of that site.

This is part of the new trend emerging, the 'in-context' information being made available in many websites. Hope to see more of such simple innovations.
