Bring Back Free Clicking

click_campaign3.jpg

You may have noticed the new NYTimes.com feature where if you double-click on a word — no matter if the word is “to” or “all” or whatever — up pops a contextual dictionary to define it. That’s great, I guess, unless you, like me, like to click around randomly while reading text online. In that case, the Times‘ website has become all-but-unusable.

Well, I’m not alone. Kriston Capps is launching his Bring Back Free Clicking campaign complete with snazzy logo. Download your own button and post it on your site. Join the crusade!
