WASALive Releases Firefox Toolbar

WASALive is an Ajax search engine that I included on my Web tracking list, and they’re just release the Buzz Firefox toolbar. When I finished installed on my Firefox browser, it will provide a new user like me with the hot keywords, or tags such as Google, Halloween, Life, People, Prostate Cancer, Web, and etc. Click on any of these tags will bring you to a succinct list of links that related to the tag. Each link has a heading and a brief introduction of the article that underneath the heading. You can also find the date and time of a particular article, as well as the information of the source. If a user is not satisfy with the search results of the WASALive, she is allowed to key in her own search query in the search box located in the left-hand side of the WASALive Firefox toolbar.
I believed WASALive was founded by a French startup that called Cedrat Net. Currently, their search results are available in 7 languages: French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Polish. Each language has its own set of hot keywords or tags, and their search results are fetching from 173,898 news providers at the time of my writing.
