Faster Surfing and Searching  (techdrivenlife)   If you are a frequent surfer who spend a lot of time in Yahoo or Google Search or in Ebay, there is a free plug-in for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer that just might be interesting to you.  It is called browster, and is based on a web page retrieval technology which they have named as “LookAhead”.   This add-on automatically prefetches links, and when you are displaying your search results, you will see a small icon in which if you put your mouse over it, it will show you the screen of that link.  This provides the user a faster way to view the webpage they are looking for without having to click on each search result.  According to their press release, this will help cut down the time to go through search results by as much as 50%.   It is currently on beta now, but can be downloaded for free at www.browster.com.  How do they make money?  IN the preview screen that you will see when you are doing the mouseover, you will see on one part of the screen some advertisements.  This is thus almost similar to the adwords search of google.   12:52:59 PM     comment []   trackback []
