Hello from AdaptiveBlue! It's a pleasure to meet you HighCallingBlogs - hopefully our friendship grows beyond just idle chit chat about the weather (click the link attached to my name to see our views on users vs. friends)
Marcus, if you ever need help with our products or have some feedback (we love feedback) please feel free to drop me an email.
If you want help setting up a sidebar widget for specific blogs I'd be happy to walk you through the process.
Anyway, hope you're well and looking forward to a long and healthy friendship :)

Fraser, thanks for the impressively quick response! That was a bit of a test for you, actually.
We've been exploring a lot of widgets over the past few months, and yours looks very very promising.

Okay, it's not late. And no one here is in a corset, pretending to be any Shakespearean character. But. But I am puzzled. Can you explain what this widget really does (I tried looking briefly)... I'm assuming it has nothing to do with garments, over or under.

Hi L.L. Barkat, what you're seeing in the post are actually two of our products: SmartLinks and then SmartLink Widgets.
SmartLinks are a blog plug-in that automatically analyzes links and understands when links are about objects: music, movies, books, etc. When the link is about an object it pulls the best information for the object from around the web directly to the website making it available for the reader.
In Marcus' post above he included a link to Amazon and our plug-in recognized that it was actually a link to a book and has pulled together the best information about the specific book directly to the page (click on the blue SmartLink icon next to the link)
The second product is the SmartLink Widget, which can be made for a number of objects and displayed on sidebars. Each item in the widget includes a SmartLink so that readers can instantly find out more information about the item. So in the example of the b5 media widget, readers can click on the SmartLink for a specific blog and instantly find out all about the blog - title, description, author, etc.
Cool stuff, no? Let me know if I can help with anything!
