B> e-mails, Web sites, news articles, blogs and even videos. As the
B> user scrolls through the text, Blinkx works in the background to

After entering a search term, wait for the "Visualizer" button to
become bold, then hover over it to watch the relationship graph
develops. Move the mouse to one of the spheres in the graph. If you
see a Suggest button, click on it and watch the sphere develops into a
graph.

Mouse over the help button at the top right hand corner to see what
else you can do with the graph.

Very cute!
