CBSNews.com has partnered with Answers.com to give readers one-click access to additional information.
It’s now the second major news site to do so, after nytimes.com. CBSNews.com is promoting the feature heavily, though, while nytimes.com isn’t promoting it at all.
The feature gives you instant definitions, explanations and facts about any word on the site: biographies, tech terms, geography, companies, culture and much more.
When you Alt-Click (press the alt key while clicking the mouse) on any word on the CBS News or nytimes.com sites, you get a small pop-up window – an AnswerTip – with a concise explanation of the word or phrase. And if the concise Answer isn’t enough, the full collection of sources on that topic is available just by clicking on the “More” button.
