Internet Explorer Accelerators

If you are running Internet Explorer 8 (or better), there is a new function you may or may not have heard of called an "Accelerator". Here is the canned schpeel:

"Accelerators allow you to personalize your browsing experience and help you quickly perform your everyday browsing tasks without navigating to other websites to get things done. Simply highlight text from any webpage, and then click on the blue Accelerator icon that appears above your selection to obtain driving directions, translate and define words, email content to others, search other websites with ease, and more."

My wife's company, DigiVinci Design, is starting to create a few and I figure I would start throwing in some GL and VW part related ones for fun. I have only done one so far, but am working on others. The first goal was to create one that would perform a keyword lookup against this site, but vBulletin (the forum software) looks to make that impossible. I will keep working on it though and try to do some for some of the other GL sites as well.

Head to the DigiVinci Design IE Accelerator page to see what is available and keep checking for more that I will post as I complete them.

If you have any you would like to see, send me a PM and I will see what I can do. In most cases, the service provider (Google Maps if one were being created to do map lookups) is not even required to be involved. More than keyword lookups can be done as well. See here for more details and others that are publically available directly from Microsoft.
