Skribit – Topic Suggestions are ready for the big time.

Critic's Realm, Techie, Useful Sites January 22nd, 2010

SkribitSkribit, a topic suggestion tool, which I have been using on my blog for over a year now, is ready for the big time. Last month the Skribit team announced the release of changes to the service and new features. They continue to add new features, some of which you can see below:

  • Follow your favorite bloggers on Skribit and see their recent activity
  • Sort suggestions by status, hotness and more
  • Merge similar suggestions
  • Ignore suggestions by user and IP (Internet Protocol or Intellectual Property) address
  • Reduce clutter with new comment and suggestion spam protection
  • Customize your the URLs for your Skribit blog and user profiles
  • Easily share suggestions through Twitter and Facebook with a click

I do find the Skribit service interesting, and as I have see it on other sites, it can prove a valuable tool. By the way, I first came cross Skribit on Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger blog.

Bonus: There is also a promo code – ackbar42 – which you can use by Jan. 27th, 2010, to upgrade your account to Skribit PRO at half-off the cost for 1 year.

Enjoy!

‘Bike Hero’ viral video not a dud, but not a hero either thanks to ad agency Droga5

Unless they are looking at viral and drug as synonyms it’s an odd choice for a company.

Invites… Get your Invites here!

Announcements, Invites November 18th, 2008

I have created an Invites request page where you can view my reviews of various web sites and services on the web that require invites to become a member, or did required one at the time of the review. As I spend a lot of time on the Internet, I register on many websites and thus come in possession of invites, which I am more than glad to share with others interested to test the web site in question as well.

You can request an invite via two methods;

  1. You can leave me a comment on the blog post about the website you are interested in.
  2. You can use the Invites request form on the Invites page, where you can request invites to multiple services at once.

Either method will get you an invite, IF they are still available. If I run out of invites I will look into getting more, but not all web sites will be willing to share more. If you have invites that you would liek to share, either let me know and I will let you know when someone wants one, or just comment on one of the invites offer posts for others to get a hold of you. In cases when you…
