AnswerTips-Definitions and Facts at Your Fingertips
AnswerTips are small bubbles of information triggered by double-clicking any word on an AnswerTips-enabled page. An AnswerTips-enabled page allows your visitors to access definitions and fast facts on millions of words, personalities or slang.
To enable Answertips on your blog or website, register here. A cool plugin is available for Wordpress blogs. Activate the plugin and whenever you double click a word in the web page, a popup window will open giving the definition of the word clicked.
You can also use AnswerTips even if the website is not enabled for AnswerTips. There is an add-on available for Firefox. Once you activate it, you can get information or meaning of a word on a web-page. You can download the add-on from here.

Maybe it`s just for me, but when there`s that kind of bubble popping out of a link, i guess that i firstly feel it`s just another ad link. If I`m not wrong, then that kind of word-linking and bubbeling is built in into some blog hosts.

Tim,
Its actually not a pop-up like the ads which annoys most of us. It has a much better interface than a pop-up. If you are integrating it into blog, then it would be a Javascript that would be inserted into the blog code.

Hey, that’s pretty cool how that works and the only time I can think that it would work is on a link or an adlink (like Kontera). I would have to pass on it though — I already have Javascript conflicts without adding another script.

First line would should have said would not. Sorry.

Well, actually i didn`t mean pop-up windows but those so called In-text-Ads (and yes, like Kontera), it means that random word is double-underlined to link something and theres a little preview or ad, see http://www.dailyblogtips.com/s.....vertising/
Peace:)

@RT,
I too had issues with the Javascript, my Ajax comment form stopped working when I installed this JS.
@Tod,
I have read daily blog tips article on that, but Kontera is widely used across many popular blogs.
@Jag,
Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you enjoyed reading the posts. I too have added you to my Technorati Favs.
