A Quick Spin with Adapative Blue...

Quickly, an apology to those of you who are expecting a substantive post. Right now, I'm investigating the new Adaptive Blue "Smart Linking" technology. Here's a link to my favorite movie, The Quiet Man. You should see a small icon just to the right of the link. The link itself will take you to Amazon's page for the move, and clicking the little icon will provide you with additional information on the movie from Adaptive Blue.

Now, most of you won't care diddly-squat about this, but for those of you who are routinely referencing books, movies, and even stocks, this represents some pretty cool technology for bloggers. This also allows you to put in your Amazon/EBay affiliate IDs so that you can grab some coin from referrals. So, for the rest of this, I'm gonna put this through it's paces...

Here's a link to EMC's stock quote on Google finance. Hopefully we'll still see the little icon...

Here's a link to one of my favorite actors, Vince Vaughn; I still think Wedding Crashers is one of the funniest movies ever...

So, check out the information at Adaptive Blue; it's really easy to add this capability to your Blog, and it's very helpful to your readers.

Hi there,

Thanks for experimenting with our stuff - I do hope you've found it to be a valuable and beneficial product.

If you like SmartLinks you may like our two other products:

We offer widgets that have SmartLinks. These are available for top lists as well as personal services - such as your last.fm top lists. You can see the gallery at adaptiveblue.com/widgets_auto.html

Also, our browser addon, BlueOrganizer, adds SmartLinks to every site you surf to so that you can benefit from SmartLinks even if the publisher doesn't have the product installed.

Let me know if you have any questions on any of this - I'd love to help any way that I can.

Best!

Thanks so much for the input. I'm already a fan of BlueOrganizer, but when I put the widget up, I didn't see that much. Maybe I need to add more content?

When you say you don't see much content in the widget, what do you mean? Drop me an email and we'll figure this out!
