AdaptiveBlue
I’m very excited about the lastest USV investment, AdaptiveBlue.
I am most excited about the product roadmap, and where AdaptiveBlue can take us all going forward.
However, I want to highlight the way in which I get the most utility out of AdaptiveBlue right now. The BlueMenu, a part of the right-click menu anywhere in the browser, allows me to instant mashup two services which surprisingly large flexibility. Here’s an example of something I’ve recently done.
Just recently I was on IMDB reading Quentin Tarantino’s filmography and I notice that he is listed as a Director on Four Rooms, which which this cool collection of four short movies all about the same hotel employee. I have not seen Four Rooms in years, so I right-click, went to “BlueMenu” -> “I’d Like to” -> “Rent on Netflix”. The movie was then instantly added to my Netflix queue. Instant IMDB/Netflix mashup. Awesome!

Very cool Andrew :)
Do you think it would be good to have an option to do this without opening a tab?

I mean to just put it into the Queue on netflix, but not open the netflix page at all. It seems like there is a class of actions that could benefit from that, where you doing something, but no further interactions are required.
