New Widget

I've come across this widget on several blogs and decided to test it out myself. It appears under each post (just give it a sec) and collects three other posts that relate to the current one. Sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it's a complete miss (and the selected stories change each time you refresh) so I'm still unsure about it. What do you think? Is it helpful or does it make the page look too clunky?

UPDATE: The widget has been chucked.

    Personally I think it's really handy. Especially for those just joining your blog, this way they can read some of the older related posts.

    First I had to figure out what you were referring to...a widget?? Isn't that something text books in college use to confuse the living daylights out of you in accounting classes?

    Pretty cool though --- I so enjoy your blog and links have been great!

    I say because I am too lazy most times to scroll through people's archived posts. This way, if I have time and like the look of the title or picture, I can just click. I like it...a lot. I might have to think about this one myself. :)

    i personally don't like, I tried it, but it killed the look of my blog, maybe if they were smaller, or if perhaps it appeared only when you click on the post, and not on the main page.

    i started using it about 1 week ago...i'm not sure how i like it. i haven't really noticed a significant amount of comments on older posts. not sure if readers actually use it...i'm thinking of chucking it soon.

    I installed this a couple of weeks ago and immediately chucked it....after, like, 2 minutes.

    I didn't like the space that it took up. It made my blog look cluttered.

    I think I might be glad I'm slow getting to this post, so I didn't have to see it? LOL
