Getting some blog love....

The newly released rating widget (available, for free, here), is getting some nice blog coverage today:

Amit Agarwal - "Blogs that are on Blogger, WordPress or TypePad can now add the wonderful outbrain star ratings widget to their blog posts."

Allen Stern of CenterNetworks - "The interesting part about Outbrain is that it finds people like you and shows you ratings for the group it places you in (along with the raw score)."

Lorie Marrero, Chief Executive Organizer of LivingOrder - "Wow, you guys really made it easy!  I was expecting that to take a little while to figure out.... I really love having the ability to be rated on my posts.  It’s good feedback for me about what my readers like."

Kyle Eslick - "As of today, adding a rating system to your blog has just gotten a lot easier. Whether you use Typepad, Blogger, or WordPress to do your blogging, you can now easily add a rating system to your blog through Outbrain."

Vikram over at Digital-Musings.com - "Among the ones I read about I found the Outbrain Rating Widget to be the best. Its simple compact look and quick response while rating makes it a must have for any blogger who wants to understand if the visitors like what they are reading."

[UPDATED... more reviews coming in!:]

Etienne - "I have been thinking whether i should use this rating bar instead of allowing comments, because there are a bunch of visitors who loves to read but do not like to leave long comments and in order to collect better stats, a simple way to collect instant feedback would be using a rating bar."

Secret Money Blog - "Most of the visitors who visits the blogs show laziness in commenting about the work, this widget is a cool thing for them to show their views about the Posts."

Hi, can this widget be made available in HINDI language? I can translate required stuff. If yes, pl send me the files / terms / words need translations. Thanks,

Hummie - our engineers will get in touch with you to see if we have a workaround for that.

raviratlami - thanks for the offer! language support in the widget is being worked on, but is still a little bit out. we will definitely take you up on the offer to provide the Hindi version. Thanks!

Great toy. I installed it in a matter of minutes. Two comments though:

1. It would be great if the widget appeared in one way or another in your RSS reader (say google reader or bloglines). I know it's tricky...

2. Where are the stats? How do I check the how people rate my various blog articles?

Todah Rabah...

This is an awesome widget..
I am already using it and have posted about in my blog Simple Tricks..

Please do include a preview or some sample blogs in the installation page..
And sometimes the widget shows up in the top of the blogpost and sometimes in the bottom..Hope you will help me with this issue..

Anyway thanks and congrats for the great plugin..

You will surely get more feedback from many from the blogosphere..

Thanks Aneesh! We're blushing... ;-)

We're looking into the bug you reported. I posted it on our support forum (http://tinyurl.com/36ozdp), so you can track the resolution there (we will also email you of course).

Thanks again for the kind words!

Hi
I have to say this is absolutely great! I have been looking for a star rating system for god only knows how long :( I tried one ... can't remember the name, though it allowed quiet a bit of editing. It was a real pain when it came to putting it on my blog. Finally when I managed to put it within the post it showed far away from the image and it was frustrating because I am a blogger (not a html / java pro) just a simple normal person who wants to use a star rating system.
I saw yours on a friend's blog and thats how I came to your site. Since yours is SO DAMN easy to install I already have it up on two of my blogs one of them is my precious music blog :) http://seasonsinmusic.blogspot.com
I have one more blog where I compile lists of other blogs or services (it's not a very huge blog yet :)) But I would like to add your banner on that blog http://compiledblogs.blogspot.com

I could not find a banner so I am asking you for it.
