Publisher's description

From blinkx :

blinkx is a tool for your Mac that changes the way users interact with all kinds of information. Fundamentally, blinkx understands what you are looking for.

blinkx reads what you have on your computer screen and automatically links you to related information - Web sites, the latest news on the Web, even documents and e-mails on your own computer.

• blinkx toolbar
  Links you to websites, news articles, products, blogs, video clips, jpegs, MP3s, email and documents on your machine that are related to the content of your active window. The small, unobtrusive blinkx toolbar is displayed at the top of your screen and automatically places relevant information at your fingertips. Whether you are browsing the web, reading a document or writing an email, you are always linked to the information you need!
• blinkx smart folders
  Lean back and let smart folders organize your documents for you. blinkx understands the content of your documents and assigns them to folders accordingly. You can choose to assign content to folders explicitly or enjoy the benefits of implicit categorization, allowing blinkx to create and maintain folders for you automatically.
• blinkx search box
  Search your desktop or the web for relevant information. Find the documents, email and email attachments that you are looking for on your computer quickly and easily. Avoid the magnitude of irrelevant web results that other search engines inundate you with, and enjoy the relevant results that the conceptual blinkx search provides!
