What is it?

1) Available for IE only!

2)

The gClick™ button allows readers to dynamically extract real-time comprehensive intelligence — on companies, executives, and events — from any Web page with the click of button. Within seconds, you can go from scanning an article, anywhere on the web, to viewing in-depth information about the companies and executives referenced in the article.

3) gClick gathers real-time, contextual business intelligence from any story or HTML page by clicking on the button or using imbedded links.

More here. The technology comes from a company named Generate Inc. American City Business Journals became a “Strategic Investor” in Generate Inc. in 2005.

Here are two screen caps of gClick in action using a WSJ story. It works with all content, not only American City Biz Journals material.

1 (the story itself) ||| 2 (clicking on a company mentioned in the story)

Worth a look and more coming from RS in the future about gClick. It’s a free app, btw. We also hope a Firefox version is also in the works.
