Skribit Social Suggestions – Might be cool
| Share |
Was Twittering and noticed a reference from “Problogger” about this new tool he was checking out called Skribit. The concept of the tool is to help bloggers (like us) figure out what to write about based on readers (like you) requests and votes.
Like any “Social / Web 2.0″ tool, the effectiveness of this will be directly related to the involvement from its users, but personally, we really like the idea!
No matter what your business is, it is always wise to listen to your readers, customers, listeners and so on. Now for bloggers, Skribit makes it very fast and easy…. or so it seems.
So is this tool worth while?
Dont know yet, we just installed it about 45 minutes ago and need to give it a bit to see if any of you actually send in suggestions 
Check it out and let us know what you want us to moo about. To use the tool, simple locate the “Skribit” box in our sidebar, directly under the sponsor banners and click in the “What should we write about?” section. Next enter the topic you would like us to write about.
OR
If you like a suggestion already there, then vote for it.
It looks like when a suggestion is answered it disappears… need to figure that out for sure though.
Thats pretty much all there is to it that we can see right now. We will update everyone on our opinion after a few days of use.
Interested to know if any of you have any previous experience with this and any feedback about it? Also, if you have not tried it, what is your initial opinion of it?

I’m using firefox 2.0 and it doesn’t show on your blog or problogger
Works for me on Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 beta 5…..
Works for me on Firefox 2
It is interesting, but I think only effective on a site like this with a lot of people participating. If you blog is new and no one offers suggestions or votes, then it can be something that makes your site look slow or unread. But on a busy site I think it is a great idea.

I’d never heard of it before but I think it’s a great idea and have just now installed it on my blog
Thanks for letting us know about it!
One thing that always works against the writer is how to get people to participate. Their are plenty of cool ways, especially the one you just pointed out to raise involvement of the reader.I would be interested to know how well this goes.

Not more junk to add to a blog. Have you seen some of these sites. They have every widget known to man, crammed into their site!!! Rotate them, or get rid of them. You see a small 10 line post, then like a mile of white space with nothing but widgets and ads on the right.
