• Useful

  by savagewolf

  What I found useful:

  It is useful for when someone throws some bizarre technical term or person/place at you.

  What I would improve:

  Preferably instead of loading the entire page into a box, maybe it should load the first paragraph with a link to the main article?

• Good but cumbersome

  by martinvilu

  What I found useful:

  It's great for research

  What I would improve:

  It could use the sidebar to show the article, or a hover tip with the first paragraph

  Comments:

  A nice idea
