The Hyperwords Firefox Extension

The Hyperwords Firefox Extension:
Awesome. Seriously. Awesome.

Originally searching for a blogging tool, I stumbled upon this on the Firefox extension pages. It has so much more.

Highlight a bit of text on a web page and then:
Plot a postcode/zip code/placename on a map
Search LinkedIn for a person
Search Google, or a number of other engines for the text
Search resources, IMDb
Blog it, automatically posts the highlighted text in the post and the url in the link field
Tag to del.icio.us or similar

Suggest that the user should be able to add further services on demand though, just like Firefox's nice search bar.
