More fodder for the great Deepend Personalised/Filtered Web Content vs. Serendipitous Discovery debate… (although not sure which side of the fence this sits – kind of both…?)

also I can’t make the plugin work yet…

Find more while you browse

Google Related is a Chrome Extension that shows you useful, interesting content while you browse the web.

When you’re surfing with Related, you’ll often see a thin bar along the bottom of your screen that offers videos, maps, reviews and other content that’s relevant to that page. When you see an item you like, you can spread the word by using the built-in +1 button.

Google Related

Google Related is a browsing assistant that offers interesting and useful content while you are browsing the web. For instance, if you’re browsing a page about a restaurant in San Francisco, Google Related will assist you by displaying useful information about this restaurant such as the location of the restaurant on a map, user reviews, related restaurants in the area, and other webpages related to San Francisco restaurants — all in one place.

Whenever you’re navigating to a new page, Google Related will look for interesting related content and, if available, display it in a bar at the bottom of your page. Google Related can display categories such as videos, news articles, maps, reviews, images, web sites and more. To preview a listed item or see additional items, just use your mouse to hover over different categories in the bar. For example, when you hover over a video link, the video pops up in a preview box and you can play the video directly on the page.

Google Related only works for users who have configured Toolbar’s search site to be Google.com. In the future, we may make Google Related available for country-specific alternatives.
