Interacting with the Outbrain ratings widget

Outbrain is a ratings widget that allows you to rate posts and receive recommendations. We have it installed on this blog.

Just the other day, Outbrain released a neat little update that allows it to be aware if the blog is using Disqus. It then presents the option to comment to Disqus while rating the blog post. It’s a small integration, and a nice way to show how blog applications can interact with each other without the blogger having to explicitly choose to install both as a package.

We like Outbrain and hope to do more with them and other complementary services with this approach: simple benefits that don’t require additional fiddling with options.

    They do not do hard selling of their widgets to user. My personal fave. There are some that have their logos are slogans added in fine text that destroys the whole widgets.

  • May I know what other stuffs that makes Outbrain stands out from the rest of the rating widgets websites?I am still considering if I should get it install.There are pros and cons about Outbrain. The pros are it advertises themselves through words of mouth and the cons are there isn't any design to choose from.

    The concept of having a rating widget on blogs are great. I didn't use to think that rating is needed when we have the commenting system but it doesn't seems to be the case.After I have used the rating widgets, I have seen more people rating than commenting.Thanks for introducing Outbrain to us!

    I personally felt that a rating widgets are great as some might not want to state their comments on that particular post and might want to give some opinions through ratings.

    I believe blogs that talks about food or gadgets will definitely find it useful.I have not tried Outbrain yet .However, I felt that they should include more designs to it ,so as to attract the younger generations.

    I saw a number of such integration. Simple yet powerful.
  • Outbrain widget is really easy to install and I must add that it does enhance readers' experience while providing valuable feedback to bloggers.
