Widget day
Well, it appears to be widget day here – I am just loading up the right side of this page with all manner of badges and doohickeys. Today I added:
- the excellent new LibraryThing random books widget
- a badge for Tu Diabetes, the online diabetes social network I recently joined
- and – well, that’s it, actually. OK, maybe it’s not widget day after all.
Of course, in an RSS reader, none of this stuff appears on the right, and I’m just crazy. Go figure.
In order to continue the widget trend, you may also be interested in AutoRoll, which is a blog widget that displays links to blogs that are similar to yours. It uses the Criteo recommendation engine and the browsing history of your visitors to compute these similarities. Not only is it customizable, but you’ll also be able to see where your visitors are coming from and where they’re going to within the AutoRoll network.
If you get a chance, please give it a try and let me know what you think!
