About What's Up With That?

What's *really new* in any article you're reading? Find out with one click and about 10 seconds. When you're reading (or writing) an article or document - how do you know what's really new, what's standard, what's worthy of critique, etc? Better than a summary, "What's Up With That?" highlights any game-changing details in any article or document you're reading or writing. Pin the browser extension, open an article online, click the purple W or use the hot-key (command-U in Chrome), and explore. People who use it say things like: "It's like a combination X-ray vision and the ability to look around corners." "It helped me feel more prepared for a call than I've probably ever been." and "Whoa..." But click around in it yourself! My name is Marshall Kirkpatrick, years ago I was the first writer hired at TechCrunch, my writing's been syndicated by the NYT, I've raised money from Mark Cuban, sold software to Microsoft and Walmart, and done research in support of UN climate work. Based on all this experience and more, I've put a ton of my favorite thinking into WUWT and made it as easy as clicking a button. I hope you'll find it wildly useful!
