Juice: its Magic works just fine!

While Webmynd is activated whenever you use the Firefox search box, Juice appears whenever you drag and drop content in the right hand margin of your browser. In order to give you the most relevant results Juice does not solely rely on Google, luckily enough: for names of people or places it will use Wikipedia, while film titles will often result in IMDB-pages. Juice also gives you the possibility to store images or videos so that later on you can look at them when you have more time. It is a pity in that respect that it does not hover over your Firefox, so to speak, and that your stored images are saved in the active Firefox window only. To be honest, I am largely undecided on whether that’s a bad thing. Probably not. Social integrationwise, Juice comes with a decent set of sites you can share your results on, such as del.icio.us, digg, reddit, and the likes. Alongside that, you can also bring up a list with the most relevant tweets on your search term. I’m not that much into Twitter, so I am not particularly impressed with this feature; they might have left it out, for all I care. One thing I do find a pity is that nowhere you can tweak the settings and add your own favourite sites, for instance.

Webmynd searches your own favourite sites

Webmynd -also available for Explorer, by the way- searches, in their own words, the real web: it, too, uses more than just Google and delivers the most relevant tweets -sigh- or the most recent Wikipedia articles. With Webmynd you can add your own favourite sites, such as a dictionaries, for instance, which I think is a great feature. Webmynd will always take previous search results into account, which makes it easier to find exactly that one article you’ve  read before. It also keeps a log of the sites you visit, though you can disable this feature if you want to. Finally, Webmynd, like Juice, gives you the option to share the results on facebook, linkedIn and the whole shebang.
