Productive Wikipedia searching [Hack Your Day]

lexisum logoThere seems to be some buzz around browsing Wikipedia differently nowadays and I found a site that I would actually recommend to those of you using Wikipedia info often. Lexisum uses some AJAX goodness to give you Wikipedia results as you type.

The really cool thing about it is that it’s blindingly fast. I mean when I search for stuff, I usually know what I want, so getting results for “guita” when I’m trying to get at “guitar” is not a huge help. The speed at which I actually get something when I finish typing (almost instantly) is great though. There is of course a link to the full article, which takes you straight to the Wikipedia page, and one other unique feature is the ability to create prints in different page sizes.

That’s about it to this webpage, but overall it’s a very handy, speedy tool to use when browsing for info, take a look!
