I like it and it’s always good to see a new idea being put forward. Therfe are bound to be a few teething issues as surfers become acquainted, for example I sometimes miss the bonus credits by moving the cursor over the trigger button before actually reaching the bonus credits link.

But that apart I think it’s a great idea and hope it continues to do well with more exchanges offering the same or at least hover as an option.

Hey Jon,

Thanks for your continued constructive news on the industry.
Impressive splash page Paul… even more impressive numbers! We keep missing being a part of these great promotions you come up with. Guess Ill have to get in the SWAT Room more often… your contributions to the industry have been enormous and I tip my hat to you.

Jen and John, keep up the great work. I think if you continue to build NW2S with features that are geared towards the success of your members, it will continue to grow. I can tell the “hover” is going to be just one of those features.

Thanks again Jon for your mention. Yes, hover technology has been around for ages and just to be clear… we certainly don’t claim to have invented it. It was just a neat feature we wanted to add to the TE (still giving the option to click). Our focus is more on creating other ways to help members build their businesses..such as our Ezine Ad module for list building. We have loads more features coming …

Thanks Jon O for everything and thanks all for your comments…we love the feedback.

I do like it, but I find that I get a much faster response from the surfbar by actually clicking on the icons. Nice to still have that choice.

Will it catch on or (be copied) more over?

I believe it will…

It was a great idea to add this to a TE model as Jen and John did, but I would rather see the “other” TE’s coming up with their own original stuff.

An example:

Ok, adding a free rotator,etc. is adding a useful feature, even though others have it. Good Idea!

Coming up with an Original idea like having “Optical Goggles” that would detect where my eye is looking… PRICELESS

Thanks for the post Paula.

John and Jen were the first people to put it into a traffic exchange model. That’s what I mean by ‘inventing it’, not the technology, sorry if it came across that way.

What I mean is that they were the first to put it into the traffic exchange model.

Jon, you sound like John and Jennifer ‘invented’ the hover technique.. all they did was add an already established technique to their exchange… the same technique that Kjell came across and added to his exchange.

Yes.. it’s cool but no one from around here ‘invented’ it.

Great posts everyone. Yeah, I still prefer to ‘click’ myself too. And it seems like you do have the choice with some of these hover programs.

I think it’s another ‘option’ and will be so. That’s great, because any time we get talking about traffic exchanges, it’s a good thing.

Keep the comments coming =)

Yeah – sorry to say it, but I really don’t like the hover surf. It’s SO easy to implement, so it’s not that we don’t know how to do it (well, not personally – but we can hire people who can do it.. lol). It’s just that I don’t like it.

Who knows though -maybe it will catch on… and we might all be forced to offer an alternate, click free surf bar… gosh, I hope not!!!

And thanks Paul.. lol – Funuary was a load of fun! Just getting my finishing touches done on June’s promo… so you had better get your running shoes on!!! LOL! Nothing like a bit of healthy competition – even if your MAYhem thing is taking Funuary to a WHOLE new level! It’s great to be a part of it all )

Oh, I’m still quite sceptical about hover surfing myself.

Starting to dabble and test a little more though. I personally prefer to click, for sure.
