The blog that gave rise to it may take its name from the French word for 'second-hand', but the BrocanteHome Toolbar is by no means second-rate. Quite the contrary. This thrifty little number was a big hit among our judges, who praised it for its performance, promotional campaign, and above all - its chic flair. This posh Parisian-style boutique bar connects the ever-loyal community of 'Vintage Housekeepers' to all the best bits of the BrocanteHome Blog. Dubbed 'The lazy girls' answer to staying in touch with all the goings on Chez Brocante. |

Performance |
|
"This toolbar does a fantastic job of utilizing the most suitable content delivery functions for the content being delivered. For instance, BrocanteHome Chronicle updates are sent out via 2-way messages, rather than by RSS, so that community members can comment directly on the updates, in the same space. Perfect for this community."
Ehud Zagury - Software Team Group Leader

Promotion |
|
"BrocanteHome promotions are sugar and spice and everything nice. They manage to tread the gentle balance of matching the site perfectly, yet still succeeding to stand out."
Brock Kaye - Director of Business Development

Style |
|
"By far the most stunning aspect of this lovely community toolbar is its design. It's all elegance. Not only does it smack of high-class tea party, but replete with the blog's signature polka dots, it appears as a completely uninterrupted extension of the site. As the BrocanteHome Toolbar download page puts it, the toolbar is 'The most scruptious way to stay in touch with the BrocanteHome community'. I could not agree more."
Hai Habot - Manager of Publisher Affairs
