I have installed a feedback script on the blog (see orange feedback button on the left). Now all my ears are on you my readers, do let me know what you want to see on AdesBlog. Your suggestions don’t have to be related to the blog posts only, it can be anything. So, suggest anything that you think would be beneficial to the readers.

With this script you can also vote on existing ideas that others had suggested. So if there is an idea that you find useful, you can vote for it.

As an admin, I can change the status of the ideas to: planned, accepted, started working on it…etc. This way you know the progress of your idea.

Put it on your blog

If you want to put this script on your blog just go to my feedback page, and click on “Want your own UserVoice Page?” link. Or you can just go to http://www.uservoice.com and sign up.

P.S saw this script first on LiewCF.

Have you wondered how Amazon’s books would look like if it was in a real bookstore? Well, zoomii tries to visualize just that (see below). It’s a real life like bookstore that is based on Amazon. It’s very interactive, you can click and drag, and use your mouse wheel to zoom-in and zoom-out. Clicking on a book will display the book details.

See it in action below. Cool huh? I won’t be surprised if Amazon will buy this website…

MagikWidget - your blogging widgets

Yesterday I signed up with MagikWidget after seeing it on the Guy Kawasaki blog. I liked the star rating widget in particular that you can put for your blog posts. However I was disappointed to find out that you couldn’t integrate it to your template.Technically you can integrate it to your template to show up after every post but the problem is that all of the widgets will be rating the same item and displaying the same rating. If you want to put for every post you need to create a new widget every time and integrate it manually.

I am guessing they did it intentionally, because for every widget you create you need to spend 1 credit. And credits do not come free 500 credits will cost you $25. Other than that they have Poll Widget, Skypecasts Widget, Delicious Widget, Digg Widget and many more on the way.

At the moment they are accepting suggestions from users for creating new widgets. If they accept your idea, they will give you credit and your link will have the option to be integrated into the widget [see image at the left].

I think it’s okay if they charge for their service but I personally think the widgets should be usable throughout the blog (on every post). Rather than charging 1 credit for it, they could charge 50 or 100 credits. www.majikwidget.com
