Dear Google,

It would be a handy web tool if anytime there was a phone number on a web page, you could mouse-over the number, and a little popup would give you the name and address associated with the number.

Netflix has functionality like this when it comes to browsing movies - as on this page (just mouse-over the movie art) - the movie synopsis pops up. Handy!

Usually I don't have a lot of use for phone numbers on websites, but it's job-hunting season.

  1. Yeah, well, what's handy for one can be incredibly annoying to another . . .

    Too bad you couldn't patch some virus that redirected certain clicks to your webiness page & make users comment insightfully . . .

  2. Like any tool, if it does its thing when it's not wanted, it would be frustrating.

    I would definitely want to have a way to toggle the tool on and off at will.
