I’ve been experimenting with Politigg for a few days now and am currently in the happy position of dominating most of its pages. But that isn’t really much use if the reason is that no-one else uses it. So what do people think? A bad idea entirely? I should promote a social bookmarking site but not this one? Anyone else willing to experiment?
I’ve added a poll in my sidebar, but what I’d really like from people is comments to this post.
Not going to vote in the poll… However, I will say this: any site that doesn’t have a prominent help/FAQ link on the front page telling you exactly what it does and what the point of it is is not going to pick up lots of users without a MASSIVE push.
It LOOKS like a non-Facebook version of the Blog Networks App, and if that’s what it is, I’d say use Blog Networks, because Facebook already has a userbase.
Clarification: not voting because it’s up to you what you post on your own blog.
I realise that, but I’m asking for feedback!
Thanks anyway. Have to admit I’ve struggled with Blog Networks though and deleted the app after failing to get anywhere with it. Perhaps I should give it another go.
Well, if you’re twisting my arm, I’d vote no.
(and if you add blog networks you’d better click the little thumbs up next to some of MY posts!)
What’s this facebook blog networks app? I really should know about this.
I think you should give it a bit more time James. Digg is obviously the be all and end all but I can’t get digg to embed into my posts (curse you blogger), like you have politigg.
Or, more to the point: http://apps.new.facebook.com/blognetworks/blogpage.php?blogid=39982
James – it’s been a while since I used blogger as a platform but I would have thought you could incorporate Politigg into it quite simply, so long as there is some way of recalling a specific post’s URL into a template.
… back in the day before comments were standard on blogs (it ’twere all fields…) you used to have to do simple mashups like that all the time.
