Context sensitive icons in the toolbar

BlueOrganizer recognizes books, music, movies, gadgets, stocks, apparel, movie stars, recording artists, recipes, restaurants, travel destinations, wines, and blogs on hundreds of sites around the web. The BlueOrganizer toolbar icon automatically changes to match the object of the page.

Toolbar menu with Personalized Shortcuts

This version of the BlueOrganier features a simplified, 1-level menu in the Firefox toolbar. The shortcuts in the menu are automatically personalized based on your browsing history when you install the BlueOrganizer. Each time you get to a new page the menu automatically changes to include personalized contextual shortcuts that provide relevant, web wide interactions for the recognized object.

Selection menu with microformats support

BlueOrganizer also offers a smart menu which appears when you select any text on the page. Depending on your selection you will get a menu for a person, event, address, author, artist, movie star, etc. To recognize the content BlueOrganizer relies on Microformats and a variety of home-grown recognition algorithms.

Integration with popular services: Twitter, Tumblr, Lijit

BlueOrganizer features integration with Twitter, Tumblr and Lijit. From any toolbar and text menu you can send an instant message to Twitter. Tumblr integration helps you to post books, music, movies, images, quotes etc. on your Tumblr blog with 1-click. Lijit integration works on any blog that has the Lijit widget installed.

SmartSearch for books, music, movies, stocks, etc.

Each menu of the BlueOrganizer includes SmartSearch - a vertical search engine built using Google custom search technology. Because the results of each search are small and focused around top, relevant sites you never waste time sifting through irrelevant links. There is a specific engine for books, music, movies, stocks, restaurants, etc.

Automatic SmartLinks for books, music, movies, stocks, etc.

Ability to change the type and url of any bookmark

Since BlueOrganizer recognizes things on a subset of pages on the web, we added support for changing the type of the bookmark. For example, you can change a page bookmark to be the book instead. Also, you can change the URL, which is useful when you grab information from one page and then point the link to another page.

Compact bookmarks sidebar with intelligent search

BlueOrganizer sidebar is now slimmer - the pulldown filter is replaced with ability to do natural language-like searches. For example, type author is McCarthy to get all books written by Cormac McCarthy in your collection. You can also do a generic search, for example, searching for love will match any book title, tag or description.

Control the presentation of bookmarks in the sidebar

This version of the BlueOrganizer supports title-only mode in presentation. In this mode, only titles appear, letting you see more things at the same time. The search function works exactly the same whether you are in the compact or full mode. There is also a new setting that lets you control the number of things shown per page in the presentation.

Simple, wizard-based widget publishing

Making blog widgets with BlueOrganizer is now very simple. Bookmark your favorite, books, music, movies, etc. and then select Make Widget from the toolbar menu or click the widget button in the sidebar. You will be taken to a step-by-step widget wizard that will help you customize and install the widget on your blog.
