This is such an iPhone killer – they don’t even know!

Getting started is a doddle. Simply plug Chumby in, let it find your wireless network and pow! – you’re on the Chumby network. You can then choose from over 1500 widgets to upload. There are new widgets arriving all the time, and with no subscription fees the online world really is your lobster. Or should that be oyster? We forget. Whatever.

As well as its widget-tastic capabilities, Chumby features an accelerometer (perfect for tilt-responsive games), 2W stereo speakers and a headphone output, so you can listen in peace or irritate housemates – no mean feat, because thanks to its squishy beanbag-ish housing, Chumby is cuter than a dozing puppy. Talking of dozing, it even functions as an alarm clock, albeit an incredibly flash one.

- Today new on DVD

The last couple of days I have been thinking on how to thank Random Good Stuff supporters better. I tried Link Friday – Crazy Story Friday – Twitter Friday but all options took either too long or were not satisfying!

Let’s try to make everyone happy with reddit.

So I started now a RGS Friends Reddit. There I will keep track of supporting sites (fellow bloggers feel free to email me your posts with had the RGS credit url) and their blog posts I like. So if I add your story link (a real – full one – no tinyurl! A real link with a real anchor text. Which is very attractive to Google) on that reddit page your site will show up there and also instantly on the right Random Good Stuff sidebar within a widget – which looks like this:

This should send you some traffic that very moment!

Now readers you come in – keep an eye on that widget and check out the links. I promise that I will only link to cool posts and those links will be really worth to click on. And as you can see you can vote stories down or up and control who will be on the Reddit Friday post.

On Fridays I will from now on post a cool image, give an update on my personal life and or our other websites and publish 2 Top Lists.

The first one will be the top voted stories of RGS supporters from the past week. And it is important that there are votes because there is only space for 20 links and only the ones with the most votes will make it on that list.

AND I will post a top RGS Reddit featuring the top stories of all times.

Bloggers – yes you can vote on your own stories or encourage others to vote for yours.

The other great thing is that those widgets will be automatically up to date so even an older Reddit Friday post will display the current results so over time those widgets will send more and more traffic.

Hope anyone will have fun with this – I surely do ! And I hope this post is not too confusing. Please address open questions as a comment.

Happy Redditing.

Talking of Reddit – you are more than welcome to reddit any RGS story as well. There is a little Reddit icon under every post which makes that super easy.
