Kallout - Why are you living without it?

Do you use search functions a lot? Do you use them not only in your web browsing, but also in your documents and PDFs (or at least wish you could)? Then try KallOut, the one plug-in on my Firefox browser I can't really do without.

KallOut is a fast and facile search tool that allows you to instantly search highlighted text from numerous sources. It works in your browser (there's a browser only extension, or you can get the whole program), on documents created in Office, and also on PDF files as well.

If you highlight text with KallOut, it will give you the following options to search: Wikipedia, Twitter, Shop, Amazon.com, Search (general), Reference, News, Images, Videos, Location, and People. There is also an options setting so you can tweak things.

I'm not going to go on and explain why all these are useful, I'm sure you realize that even the most mundane task can be eased in some way. Searching just got easier with KallOut. It's more direct, and therefore faster. You waste less time. And having so many targeted objectives on your first immediate click is fantastic. Give it a try - I think you'll love it!
