Massively extend your knowledge-gathering power with Curiyo (Browser Extension)

So I'm reading a super-interesting article on Mega's plan for email privacy (well, interesting to me, anyway), and I start running into tech terms the make me scratch my head. What the heck is WebRTC? What's Perfect Forward Secrecy? No clue. In the old days I'd have to open a new browser tab and do a search for those geeky terms. No more!

With the Curiyo browser add-on I can simply click on the term (if it has a subtle dotted line under it, meaning that Curiyo found it an interesting term I might want to know more about), or long-click on any word in the text (if Curiyo either found the term uninteresting or thought I ought to know what it meant already, since I have a college degree for crying out loud).

Developer Description: "Curiyo saves you time and instantly brings relevant info to you without leaving the page!"

Features:

Long-click: This feature allows you to decide which topic you’d like to know more about, by just long-clicking the term for a full second.

Topic Detection: Curiyo automatically identifies interesting topics on the page you’re reading and subtly underlines them.

Relevant content: Curiyo gives you dynamic content from top publishers on the web.

Smart word detection: Curiyo is easy to use! If for instance you want to click on Lana Del Rey, there’s no need to select the whole name (all three parts of it), just long-click anywhere in the word.

Check out the screenshot to see an actual, real-life example of Curiyo in action!

Reward Summit (Android/iPhone/Chrome) - Make the most of your credit card rewards!

We all have credit cards, and they all have reward programs. But who can keep track of them? How do you know the best one to use for any particular purchase in order to get the most out of your available rewards programs? Impossible, right? Not any more.

Developer Quote: "How would you like to get an extra $250 a year or more back from your credit card reward programs? Most credit card customers find their reward programs so confusing that they aren't taking full advantage of the benefits! With Reward Summit you can:

+ See a "cheat sheet" of the best card to use for each type of purchase
+ Choose a specific merchant based on your location and see how much every credit card you carry will pay in rewards
+ Connect to FourSquare to get automatic recommendation notifications every time you check-in
+ View a report of how much other credit card reward programs would have saved you
+ Be notified when the credit cards you carry run "flash promotions" (like when a credit card company offers 2% cash back for a specific type of transaction for a single day) or when special promotions require you to sign up

Start maximizing your credit card rewards now. Getting started is easy: The first time you use the application you select which credit cards you carry. We'll start making recommendations right away. No sensitive information is required - we'll never ask for your credit card number."
