Patrick Borders on Emdashery pointed out “Browse Inside” yesterday. It has the potential to be an interesting tool from HarperCollins for readers and bloggers. But it still has some problems.

    Widget. Hmmm... Pardon while I fidget. What'm I supposed to do? Looks like lines of code to me.

    Yeah, I'm working on revising this post to a tone of disgruntlement.

    Yikes. I was going to thank you for the link, but I'm afraid you might hunt me down for encouraging you to drop a sabotage device into your blog! Your update is now showing up in the sidebar--at least on my screen. :0

    I did try the widget on a post I'm doing for tomorrow, and it worked fine in Typepad. I guess they don't call it the bleeding-edge for nothin.

    In HC's defense (just a teeny tiny bit), I think their focus is the MySpace market.

    I did browse Scott's book from the HC site, and it looks great.

    The update's in the sidebar? Hilarious. Well, it looks okay in IE 7.0 and Firefox 6.0. Oh well.

    I still can't browse Scott's book from IE 7.0. Strange.

    It's always good to hear from you, Patrick.

    Also, Patrick, I'm glad you directed me to the Browse Inside tool! I hope my disgrumblement with HarperCollins didn't feel like it was directed towards you.

    Oh, not at all. I just throw these things out there because I tend to think any new thing is cool. But sometimes, they're not so much!

    BTW, the update moved from the sidebar to the body soon after I posted my comment. I was on FF5.0, so it was probably on my end.

    Well, that's good that it looks normal. I was checking for code issues and posting and editing. You probably just came on in the middle of that process.

    And keep throwing out those cool things on your blog! I always enjoy checking them out at least.
