Some of you may have noticed something new on the blog today.  It’s a little experiment inspired by the ants that LetsBuyIt.com used to use.

Thoughts?  Think it will work?  I will be getting stats from the links from Add This! which I’ll share.

   I am finding it amusing. I love floating aspects on blogs.

   “It’s supposed to get a reader’s attention and be ‘distracting’. The trick is to make it not too distracting!”

   I can’t agree more. The line between subtlety and distraction is a thin one but if something completely disappears into the body of the blog, what’s the point? As far as this particular implementation, I don’t have any great issue with it. If someone really enjoys your blog, I don’t see something like this as a deal breaker. Ultimately, the stats will tell if its serving its purpose.

   It’s supposed to get a reader’s attention and be ‘distracting’. The trick is to make it not too distracting!

   @Shashank

   I’m definitely going to try and get better buttons. I don’t think it increase loadtime as the pages seem to be loading faster - I think because I’ve turned off the ‘Share This’ plugin which is a bit of a resource hog

   it looks nice but you need to work on design ..and are you sure that it isn’t increasing the load time of your site.

   I noticed it as soon as I scrolled down the page. I’m actually very interested in your results with it. Although it takes up very little space, I think the “animation” may prove to catch the attention of quite a few folks.

   you should get some nice stylish designs, instead of those buttons.
   try deviantart or search around (something like Bill mention)
