Juice: Discover New Content by Highlighting Text
If you're reading about a court case that references a previous ruling by another court, or perhaps a news article that references another topic you're not familiar with, you're familiar with the old technique of highlighting the text and right-clicking to search for that term. Juice, a free Firefox extension, takes that to the next level and gives you a custom sidebar where you can drag and drop that highlighted text to learn more about it. Instead of highlighting a word or phrase you're interested in and simply searching the Web for it, Juice will take the text and help you discover new content relevant to your search. For example, if you highlight and drag a book title, Juice will show you the book listing at Amazon. If you highlight and drag a court case, the extension will bring it up at Wikipedia so you can read about it.
