Today we're kicking off a little experiment on WinCustomize. We are exploring products and services that will allow you to take the site with you, so to speak. While we want you to spend as much time as possible browsing the site, sometimes you do the unthinkable and click a link to some other site, and leave us here, wondering when you'll come back. We miss you. We made cookies but you weren't here. I think I even saw Jafo with a tear in his eye. Don't do that to Jafo, he's a sensitive guy and needs you.
But despite the cookies, and the tears of sadness, you still go off now and then. So we'd like to make it easier for you to come back. In the past, unless you had a page bookmarked, or URL memorized, you would have to go click through the site to get to the content you were looking for. You also weren't immediately aware when something exciting was going on in the community until you hit up the front page again. To help with this, we've partnered up with Conduit to build a browser toolbar specific to WinCustomize and its users.
Here are a few features of the toolbar:
- Integrated Search
Search Google, Wikipedia, and even WinCustomize itself directly from the toolbar. Just pick your desired search engine and go.
- Quick Links to Favorite Tools, Galleries, Community Sites & More
We've built in links to some of our most popular content, making it quick and easy to get to what you're looking for.
- Get Important WinCustomize Announcements Delivered Straight to Your Browser
We can broadcast important announcements to all toolbar users. You won't be late to find out about important releases, contests or events ever again.
- RSS feeds, Local Weather, Internet Radio, Email Notification & More
- Never Update The Toolbar
As we continue to improve and expand the toolbar, you won't have to worry about downloading and update. Changes are automatically distributed to toolbar users whenever they restart their browser.
The toolbar is 100% free to all users, and completely safe to use. It contains no spyware, malware and does not collect or transmit personal information. This is also the first version of the toolbar, so we're very interested in hearing what you think of it and what you'd like to see us add to it. Please leave your feedback and comments below.
