(Mel) Gibson Guitars

Posted by jakeo on March 18, 2007

When I’m browsing, I often double-click to select a word for a clipboard, another search, whatever.

My surprise tonight when I noticed NYT had hijacked my double clicks to open their reference search, which is powered by Answers.com, and is mostly useless and non-contextual.

Which is how I was taught that Gibson only means Mel Gibson.

Guess they need the pageviews.

UPDATE: It actually looks like they are trying to be contextual, as the double click on “Gibson” from this article passes “say, Fender and Gibson” onto Answers.
