With the progress of network technologies and astronomical observation technologies, as an example of cyber-infrastructure based sciences, Virtual Observatory is initiated and spreading quickly. More and more on-line accessible database systems and all kinds of services are available. Although astronomers have been aware the importance of `interoperability', integrated access to the on-line information is still difficult. SkyMouse is a smart system developed by Chinese Virtual Observatory project to let you access different online resource systems easily then ever. Not like some VO efforts on uniformed access systems, for example, NVO DataScope, SkyMouse tries to show a comprehensive overview for a specific object, but not to snatch as much data as possible. Stimulated by a simple `Mouse Over' on an interested object name, various VO-compliant and traditional databases, i.e., SIMBAD, NED, VizieR, DSS, ADS, are queried by the SkyMouse. An overview for the given object, including basic information, image, observation and references, is displayed in user's default web browser. In the poster, current status and trends of on-line astronomical services are introduced; architecture, topology and key technologies of the SkyMouse system are described; current functions and future plans are listed. The system is accessible at : .
