Unfortunately I know from experience that StumbleUpon traffic never converts, it just serves to give short bursts of traffic.

This is a really great idea, but unless they have built in the ability to track these rotating sales lines/links then they may not be able to monitor the effect.

Much better than a rotating banner ad, even one that links to an internal page, because they phrasing is so catchy – and just enough of a tease to make you wonder. Why did they say “double click” though? That’s the first thing I wondered (and I see Blue Acorn commented about the same thing). Is it just meant to be another anomoly, do you think?

…great price and customer service.

I really like Spoon Sister’s idea. Maybe I can use it with my own site.

Yeah, they may have updated it since I grabbed the screen shots.

Very interesting… works on several levels…

Firstly there’s the curiosity… I want to know WHY it’s OK for kids to play with their food so I click it.

Secondly it addresses the customer’s problem – “I need something for a dinner party”, rather than just showing a list of products and relying on the customer to make the connection.

I think they need a larger list in there though – it gets repetitive fast. Although I’m seeing a different list to yours so either they change them every day or else they’re A/B testing.

Cute site too, thanks – I have a friend who needs more spoons.

In its simplest form, it’s a product rotator, but the uniqueness is in the messaging it shows – very different. I love how they just don’t have the name of the product though, something I’m sure Brian would indeed praise.

I don’t understand the double-click message though – a single click worked just fine.

Cute statements but no need to double click. Interesting usability issue; says something about something.
