AnswerTips: No Longer Just for NYT.com

Over a year ago, I wrote about a feature on the New York Times website.  The feature works as follows: the reader double-clicks on a word, and a new window opens with a dictionary lookup of that word.  I called it a killer feature.

Today I find that the same feature, powered by the same company (Answers.com) is present on CBSNews.com.  Not bad.
