Interesting. Glad it has worked out and you are earning with it though the amount itself might be small. Thanks for the review. Shall go with it on my blog too.

So Aaron, so far you’ve made $50 in tips using my widget, in 6 days time. That’s $8.3 dollars a day. (Minus pp fees and sb fees which are small).

This is how it’s supposed to work. :) I keep meaning to do a custom design for your widget. I’ll try this weekend.

Hey Maddie-

Yeah it bumps the oldest link off. Thanks for the tip… feel free to tip more. :-p

ok, I tipped. We’ll see what’s what. I think it will look cool once you have ten people – but what happens when you get more? do we have to keep paying to stay up top? presumably yes…

Hey Jim. Yes, smaller is good. :) I’d be happy to beta test your efforts, if you’d like.

Thanks for the review. We’re in beta, which to us is more about proof of concept. We’re using this time to gather feedback about what people like you want, and then we’re planning to build those things into the future.

Our biggest request is for smaller widget sizes and custom colors, etc… So we’re building a custom widget creator into the next version. I also like your idea about having the listings show up under the entry as an option. So much to do…

Bottom line is… we’re listening. Thanks for trying it out.

I agree with the need for integration — right now, it sticks out on your site like a sore thumb, and it would be nice if it looked more…technosailor. I think it’s an interesting idea, however, and will be checking back with you to see how well it’s working. Better implementation would probably appeal to a broader audience, no?
