"For example, if you are interested in learning more about how yoga increases immune functioning, and you have found a great article via Google or Yahoo, then you can use this article to find other relevant articles and gain even more information on the topic. Just go to the site, click on the Ambient Page tab on your tool bar, and voila! You've got a list of websites that are all related to the subject of interest. It's simple as that. Hopefully I have convinced you that this tool is really really useful, especially if you are interested in learning everything there is to know about meditation and its many benefits." - ambiently from Bookmarklet

"This is a great tool for research, whether you are doing it for school/job or just personal interest. Say you find a website that has some insightful information on the topic of interest, but you want to see what additional insight you can get from other sites. Instead of going back to your Google search results, just click on the "ambient page" tab on your toolbar." - ambiently from Bookmarklet

"This is useful for any discipline. I found it particularly useful for researching topics related to meditation and yoga. If you come across an article that relates to whatever you are studying, then a search engine that brings up sites relevant to that article would be the most effective way to keep researching that topic. Ambiently is a great research tool. It's a search engine, but better ... maybe not in every way, but it's still pretty useful. I'm definitely going to use it." - ambiently

"Like many web workers, searching the web is an integral part of how I get things done each day. For that reason, I regularly try out various types of search engines that can take me beyond standard Google results. My favorite recent find in this area remains Viewzi, which lets you get lots of different types of visual and text-based views of anything you search for. This week, I’ve been trying a tool that bills itself as a web “discovery engine,” rather than a pure search tool: Ambiently. So far, I’m finding Ambiently very good for some of the tasks that I would otherwise use a search engine for, in particular finding good alternative content on esoteric topics and seeing how my content is being used by others." - ambiently from Bookmarklet

"The idea behind Ambiently is to give you suggestions for content that’s similar to the content on the page that you’re currently looking at. It does indeed do this for any web page, but I find it most useful for quickly showing me alternatives to pages on fairly esoteric topics, and particularly useful for quickly looking at how anything I’ve written on the web is being picked up by others. For example, I went to this WWD page where I wrote a story about the useful Firefox extension, Pencil. When I clicked on the Ambiently button on my Firefox toolbar, I was taken to a list of several sites that picked the post up. There were some sites that had other reviews of Pencil as well. By contrast, if I search on “Pencil” or the title of my post at Google, I get a long list of Mozilla and Mozilla-related links. Ambiently appears to look at a whole lot of keywords on any web page you’re on and then seeks to find matches for groups of them." - ambiently from Bookmarklet
