Got Wills

Sphere piqued my interest two days ago, when I saw that someone had been referred to my blog from there. I immediately recognized the site… I had seen it on TechCrunch and GigaOm. When I had seen it on those sites, I thought it was just another social bookmarking or “Digg” like site. I soon found out it was a great tool for helping navigate the blogosphere.

Naturally, I went to get the code to put on my site, finding only a link to contact Sphere for more information. Sphere looked cool enough to forgo my usual distaste for a ‘contact me’ where a download link should be. I filled the requested information and hit send. Within a few minutes I had received an automatic response… great, I’m at the back of a long line. I archived the email and went about my business. Checking my email, I found, quite unexpectedly, that Tony Conrad, founder and CEO of Sphere had sent an email asking me to download and implement the new plugin for WordPress. About 5 minutes after reading the email… Sphere was running on my blog. I still had to make a small tweak to disable Snap Preview Anywhere, by adding a class, “snap_nopreview” to the link in the plugin file. So, now after each of my posts you will see a ‘Sphere it’ link. If you would like more about some topic I have written about, just click Sphere it, and you’ll be presented with a list of related blog posts. Now, if I could just get some comments… Oh well.
