The new PersistentFan widget

Quick update from coffeeshop headquarters.  We just created the first PersistentFan widget that is focused on allowing sites that are persistent fans of any topic to add content to their sites without taking important real estate on their page.

To see the widget in action go to ElevatorSpeed.com and play around. 

The user experience:

Screenshot 1:  Click on the orange Check out Coachella videos tab on the left side of the page.













Screenshot 2:  When clicked the PersistentFan widget slides open on top of the publishers site.  Coachella fans can click thumbnails to watch concert footage, the Twitter conversation and share with friends on Facebook, Digg and Email.

Screenshot 3:  User click on the orange on the orange tab again to close the widget.












As with all the features and ideas BaconMarathon Labs implements, we are putting this widget out there and looking for feedback.

1. If you think it has the potential and totally awesome, let us know.

2. If you think it is missing features or you just don't get it, let us know.

3. If you have a site and are also a PersistentFan of pretty much anything and want to add this widget to your site, lets us know!  
(just email info@baconmarathon.com and we'll get right back to you)

Take care,
Mike (Bacon)
