Interacting With Books Online Via BlueOrganizer

by Fraser on February 20, 2008 · 1 comment

BlueOrganizer allows you to interact with books online in a smarter way. BlueOrganizer is able to recognize books in pages and links and presents you with ways to interact with the specific book across the entire web.

There are two features of BlueOrganizer that enable a better book browsing experience.

Here’s a short video introducing you to the features. You can also read about them below. Download BlueOrganizer and start browsing smarter today.

(1) BlueOrganizer recognizes the specific book within a link and inserts a blue icon, a SmartLink, in the page.

When you click on the SmartLink you can preview the book right on the site or you can go find the book on any number of sites across the web.

You can find the specific book directly on your preferred site, you can save it to your book social network, or find related information about the book and the author.

Because BlueOrganizer recognizes the book within the link you can benefit from SmartLinks as you browse. No longer are you constrained to interact with the book on a single site. You can now access the book around the entire web.

(2) When you’re on a page that’s about a book you can use BlueOrganizer to once again interact with the specific book in a smart way. The icon in the toolbar changes to a book icon to show that the object is recognized.

You can now go find this book on your preferred book sites, save it to the social bookmarking sites that you like, and add it to your book social network. All with a single click.

This is made possible because BlueOrganizer recognizes that you’re looking at a specific book rather than just a random web page. Once it understands the noun on the page it can present you with targeted and contextually correct verbs.

If you have any questions on this please ask. BlueOrganizer is a Firefox addon that creates a smarter browsing experience. You can download it here.
