Shop Babylon Mall From Anywhere! (on the internet...)

Ok, so just what is this thing anyway?



I have to confess that I use the Firefox browser. If I didn't, I would have about 150 open windows and my computer would crash. In Firefox you can install "bookmarklets", which let you add one-click functionality to your browser toolbar. You can also add them to IE but as a "Favorite".

For example, the "Hive It!" buttons on the mall could be installed as a bookmarklet, so that you can Hive any web page, even pages that don't have a "Hive It!" button. In fact, Stylehive has the "Stylehive bookmarklet" that you can install for just that purpose.

Ok, so what does this all have to do with the Babylon Mall bookmarklet and shopping from anywhere?

The Babylon Mall bookmarklet simply runs a search on the mall for the word or words you have highlighted on the web page that you are currently on. The web page can be anywhere on the internet. Say you are on a web site reading about a certain style or designer, and you think to yourself "Hmmm, I wonder if there is anything like that on Babylon Mall?" Just highlight the style or designer's name, click the bookmarklet you installed, and it will search the mall for that style or designer.

It just makes it easier to shop on Babylon Mall.

You can read more about bookmarklets here, including information about security and safety of bookmarklets.
