Cleeki - The World One Click Away

It is my pleasure to announce that Cleeki's Firefox add-on has been approved to go public. Feel free to check it out at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7750.

Cleeki's Firefox add-on is Firefox's enhanced alternative to IE8 Accelerator (Activities). Select any text on your screen, and you can preview search results immediately in the same page. Support Google (text, image, ...), YouTube, Maps, Amazon, etc. and you can add your own channels.

For IE users, we also provide an equivalent add-on at http://www.cleeki.com/ieplugin.html.

I just found a hidden bug in the code for the YouTube channel, and have corrected the error. Now the YouTube channel is much faster than before. Try it youself.

You might have heard about or tried the new feature "accelerators" that appears in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8. It is a very nice feature to help boost web search efficiency without frequent switches between different web sites. Actually Cleeki contains add-ons, called Select-n-Go, for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, which accomplish the same function, only faster, easier, and more powerful.

Compared with IE8 accelerators, Cleeki's Select-n-Go provides better experience in that:

1) It works for both Internet Explorer 6.0+ and Firefox 1.5+, which covers ~90% web browsers nowadays. As a comparison, Internet Explorer 8's up-to-date market share is 0.37%.

2) The preview page is with richer amount of information and interaction. e.g., you can feel free to edit the keywords before search to match your intension perfectly.

3) You can customize your own search channel easily. One example is that you can create a channel to search only .pdf files.

Here is a screenshot about how the add-on looks like when it is active:

The bottom line: it doesn't hurt to have one more choice, isn't it?

This article tries to answer a simple question: what is Cleeki?

Cleeki comes from "Click it". Here is an one-sentence pitch:

With one click Cleeki captures keywords anywhere on your screen, searches it on the Internet, and previews the results immediately.

In order to figure out whether Cleeki is useful for you, let's explore more by some particular examples.

1. In this example, you are reading an email from your friend. S/he ended the email by using an Internet slang "HTH", and you don't know what that mean. Instead of the copying-pasting-searching frustration, you simply click on the slang, and Cleeki brings a small window so that you can preview the explanation immedidately. At any time you can explore more regarding your search results in your webbrowser by clicking corresponding links. Or if you are already satisfied with the results, simply move your mouse away and the Cleeki window vanishes silently. The total amount of inputs: one click.

Understand an Internet slang by simply clicking it

2. Let's look at another scenario, when you are reading an news article. The article mentions a popular YouTube video titled "The Evoluation of Dance" that has been viewed over 100 million times . You are so curious to view it too. Instead of the switching to a new tab, navigating to YouTube.com, searching the title, and eventually watching the video, you simply select the title of the video, and Cleeki allows you to watch the video right away in the same page. Yo can even drag the video window aside, and continue reading the article while the video is playback.

As you might have already noticed, Cleeki brings you unpredecented experiences in searching the Internet much faster, easier, and more convenient. It minimizes the input operations you have to execute, and maximize your search efficiency. In this blog we will gradually introduce the unique features of Cleeki. So keep cool and stay tuned.
