Using Selection Menu

The BlueOrganizer features the smart, context-sensitive selection menu which allows you to instantly access related information online. There is a generic text menu, which is available on every selection and there is also a specific menu for books, music, movies, addresses, people, etc. which comes up appropriately based on your context. The generic menu consists of shorcuts that help you search for selected text via search engines or lookup tags, photos and video. You can also look up word definitions and articles on Wikipedia if you select a word or a short phrase.

If BlueOrganizer recognizes specific context, such as books or movies, you will get an additional context-specific menu. For example, in the image above, there are also movie shortcuts because the article is related to movies. Contextual menu appears automatically on blogs and web sites around the web depending on where you are and what you select. Here is another example, now on a book blog:

In addition, BlueOrganizer recognizes people, locations and events using a mix of microformat annotations and internal smarts. When you select a piece of text which is recognized BlueOrganizer will show a tooltip to signal that a special Smart Menu is available for this selection. In the example below we show how you can get a Smart Menu for a location.
