One of the coolest things to come out of the development of my startup Bubbalon.com is the object widgets. I’ve got a few on the blog at the moment, and you can see what they do. They allow people to share their feelings on any bubbalon.com object.
Here is an example:
Yeah, I am not writing this post from Tech Crunch Disrupt, boy what I would give to be there! Anyway, you can see that the widget shows you MY rating of Tech Crunch Disrupt, and than invites you, my reader to go ahead and rate it yourself.
We have another kind of widget, one that is not “user” focused, but shows ALL of the comments made on that object on Bubbalon. It looks like this:
Pretty straightforward right? Now, the cool thing about the widgets is that anyone can grab them from Bubbalon.com and embed them on their blog or website.
A couple possibilities:
- get feedback on your blog posts
- use a widget to show off your ratings of movies, books or anything
- put it in your store so people can see the ratings of your products
This is just getting started! It’s easy and fun to use the widgets, so give it a try if you’ve got a blog or a site where you want to display the ratings of objects.
