Early feedback is looking promising
May 16th, 2007 by sethI’ve only been trickling out the launch announcement so far, so not a huge number of installs yet, but what people see they seem to like. Here are some random bits of buzz:
“One of the best firefox addons I’ve used”
“Just grabbed interclue. Already handy in the first five minutes.”
“A lot of online abstract summaries have huge long lists of titles, and loading up each abstract in a tab is a bummer, and this looks like the best thing we’ve ever seen in getting through lots of text summaries like an abstract compilation.”
People seem to particularly like using Interclue on Wikipedia, on news sites, and inside their intranets.
Currently it doesn’t work well on Gmail - which is a particularly elaborate online application - and we will look into that. On the other hand it does work really well on Google Reader, and many other online feed readers. It’s really nice being able to read the content and context of a link without having to leave the page. If you haven’t tried google reader yet, you really should. It’s a great way to get all your incoming news in one place. Don’t forget to add the interclue blog feed by clicking one of our feed icons to the right.
Today we’ll upload Interclue to the sandbox on addons.mozilla.org, where we hope to get a lot of valuable feedback from the early adopters in the Mozilla community.
