So, I tried turning on this widget again in my sidebar today. It sure looks cool when you first see it, which I did several months ago. I put it in my sidebar briefly back then, but I remember it wasn’t working right, so I took it off. Also, it couldn’t be adjusted for width and was displaying somewhat "chopped off" in my standard.pngdth Typepad sidebar. Well, today, I thought I’d try it again to see if they’d improved the thing at all. The width thing is still a problem for Typepad blogs, and I don’t see any way to adjust for that. Are the links working for you? I was having a problem for a while clicking through to the scrolling stories. But if this thing appears to be working okay now, I just may turn it back on again in my sidebar. I’m sure you can get at a lot of this same news on Alltop’s Social Media page, if you just want a plain-vanilla UI (basically a random list). But I find scrolling widgets to be more fun….
