Brainboost is an answer engine whereas Google is a Search engine. What that means is that Brainboost actually finds answers to your questions posed in plain English as opposed to directing you to pages that simply mention the questions.

// three ways to increase your intelligence

1. Continually expand the scope, source, intensity of the information you receive.

2. Constantly revise your reality maps, and seek new metaphors about the future to understand what’s happening now.

3. Develop external networks for increasing intelligence. In particular, spend all your time with people as smart or smarter than you. – - Timothy Leary, The Intelligence Agents

TargetAlert for Firefox

It’s so ANNOYING sometimes when you’re browsing and you click a link without looking at the browser line that tells you what it is, and up comes a PDF or a Word file or whatnot. TargetAlert to the rescue! It puts a little dingus next to the link that you cannot avoid noticing. It’s a boon. Oh, btw, if you can’t see the image, upgrade your browser.
