Sphere

Sphere is a new site that creates a widget that relates content to different: media, blogs, and data in a specific site/location. It might sound confusing but think of it as a gadget on your site/blog that helps improve the readers experience. This is done by something known as "contextual matching".

After reading up on Sphere and giving it a look, I've decided to trial it on this very blog hoping to enhance your experience. (click at the bottom of any post on Sphere related content) It kind of reminds me of the Crux Lux widget w/out it being automated.

I think there is some definite benefits here and hope to hear back regarding any users experience.

  2. Thanks Alex, it does show some promise, but does require a little HTML knowledge to install. However, the instructions are very user friendly.
