Get Ratings on All Your Posts From Readers
This is WAY too cool not to post about. For those of you who are fellow bloggers, this is a totally awesome idea. You know how you can rate stuff on Amazon or BestBuy? Well, now you can add a 5-star rating gizmo to all your posts and get immediate feedback from your readers! How cool is that?
It’s called Outbrain and it is easy-peasy to install. Go, enjoy!
Seriously, this may be the Killer App that forces me to go to a WordPress.org hosted site instead of the freebie version.

I think I’d be worried…and wouldn’t one’s ego take a bruising if no one rated your articles?
(I have self-confidence issues.)

Nah. It wouldn’t bother me. It’d be cool to see the things people would rather read about. I’m guessing they are judging the content more than the “writing” anyway. I mean, it’s all about customer service! LOL…

OOOOOOO…O_o . I am getting this right now! Awesome little link. Thanks for the info!
@Kestrel : I can see that (part of me is rocking in a corner right now), but it think people will be much more willing to rate an article than leave a comment. Like Game Dame said, it is a really good way to see what your readers really want to read. I am tired of ‘0′ comments and not knowing if it was enjoyed or not because there wasn’t any feedback.
