Real-time link counts on MAKE posts

Ok Makers we added a cool new link to all the blog posts on MAKE, it’s called the “Technorati Link Counter Widget” – it will show other makers and sites that are linking to the post you’re reading. Just click “View blog reactions” – It’s a great way to find other maker-friendly sites, tech sites and people/orgs that are likely interested in similar topics – so check it out, let us know what you think, consider this an experiment… and if you have a site, post a link to MAKE so we can see you! Link & Technorati Link Counter Widget.

Here are a couple examples…

• Open source gift guide – Link & list.
• Zune hacks – Link & list.

When you view these on posts, you’ll see the # of people talking before you click, so far it’s pretty impressive and spam free!
