Me.dium Offers a Social Browsing Widget, and More

Me.dium, the browser add-on tool that's aiming for more social web browsing, has added its service to be available for Internet Explorer users. Previously only able to be used by Firefox and Flock users, Me.dium can now reach a much broader audience.

That's not all that Me.dium has going on today. It's also created a widget for users to display their live web in relation to themselves and their website. The widget is in javascript, and can be placed on your blog, or your personal website. It reflects your circle of Me.dium activity as a sort of "behind-the-scenes" look at what's going on. See who's visited your site, and enable you and your site visitors to check out the sites that other Me.dium users are visiting.

It makes sense that Me.dium has created a widget for its users, and it makes more sense for Me.dium users to interact with it, and less so for site visitors, as most of the connections found on the widget are not directly correlated with content found on the initial site. The majority of Me.dium's service could eventually be incorporated in this widget, which would make it more interactive and that much more appealing. Me.dium received $15 million in funding earlier this year, and has thus far used the funding to begin competing with other social browsing tools, such as The Coop and Clutzr.
