Headup.com - Discover More As You Browse

In general terms, headup is a web browser add-on that will enable you to tie together content from your preferred web services, effectively making for finding information of interest to you as you are surfing the web. The team behind headup dubs it as a “personal discovery agent to the web”, and that is an apt definition in itself.

This add-on works with Firefox and the data is presented to you as an unobtrusive layer on top of the pages you are viewing at any given time. This layer lets you know about news and developments that might appeal to you taking into account statistics of the sites you habitually access. What’s more, headup cross-references information from different social networks in order to make for an even more personalized set of recommendations, as well as keeping you posted on what your friends are doing online.

The site includes a video tour that acts as a showcase for the existing and planned features, and it will be interesting to see how this new endeavor shapes up and evolves. If you would like to become a beta tester, you can get invites at the KillerBlog.
