Add Double Clicking Discovery and Sharing to Your Site with Quiqee

Posted by on 15th May 2010 Social Media 8 comments

Add Double Clicking Discovery and Sharing to Your Site with QuiqeeQuiqee is a cool little tool that lets you adds some useful content discovery and sharing features to your website or blog. I am currently using it on 2 of my blogs and so far I really love the easy functionality it adds with a simple little code. It literally takes about 30 seconds to add it to your site and it’s free. It also gives you the option to earn revenue (50% share of advertising impressions) from the built in Adsense ads and search box.

Quiquee is activated on your site by a simple double click or highlighting of a word. It’s actually a really small menu that doesn’t take up too much space on the page. Users of your site will be able to search for definitions, news, images, videos and more for words on your site. Maybe you used a word that they are not familiar with, they can look it up without leaving the page. Or maybe they want to see if there is any buzz about a product you talked about on Twitter, this can all be done without leaving your site. So as you can see, Quiqee can also help decrease the bounce rate on your site.

When a menu item is clicked, a light box opens up right over the content on your site in a slick, clean frame. Even though the user may have clicked on news, there are tabs for them to see all of the options for that word selected right from the box.

Quiqee will also add a button on the side of your site or blog called “quick links”. When clicked, this button opens up another light box window that lets users share your content on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz and Digg. Users can also “like” your content on Facebook with the integrated (new) Like button. Also, they’ll be able to see the latest posts on your site and even search using a Google powered search box. This is the window where Adsense is displayed and you’ll earn 50% of the revenue.

Quiqee has quickly become my new favorite blog tool for the simple fact of its simplicity and clean UI. It’s hard to believe that such a little tool can provide so much value to your site. So what do you think? Will you be adding Quiqee to your site?

    THAT is insane. How do you let visitors know that such a service is available on your site, or do they discover it by double clicking accidentally?

    That's nice :smile: I tried the demo and I love it. But how many people actually highlight text on your site? They wouldn't even know that this is enabled.

    That looks like a good idea, but I have to agree with the first two comments – how would people know it's there? Definitely one to keep an eye on.

    There is a pop up bubble which comes up on the site where it is installed telling users that they can double click.
