We've started the process of developing widgets for the Gooruze community - so before we send the tech team to work - we want to know what you - the gooruze community - want from your Gooruze widgets...

a few ideas we've been throwing around include:
  • Member widgets (install them on your blogs and websites) they might include
  1. your current rating,
  2. Your member vitals e.g. #'s of posts/news/articles/answers
  3. Link back to your gooruze profile
  • Ruze It - news buttons (embed them in your posts)
  1. This will allow your readers to submit your content from blogs and websites into the gooruze community
  2. They might also include the current rating of your content within the gooruze community
  • Gooruze content aggregators
  1. allow you to distribute your news/articles/Q&A/posts to your websites/blogs
These are just some of the ideas we come up with to get your creative juices flowing...now while we'd love to build every widget available - we can only focus on the most popular to begin with - so:
  • let us know which widget ideas you like
  • add some new widget ideas into the mix
  • tell us what information/content you want to see in the widgets
At the end of the day - Gooruze is your community, so we want to make sure build them to your needs.

I like #1.

How about a widget that works like MyBlogLog - if you're a gooru and you visit my site, you see your avatar. It might encourage others to sign up. It worked well for MyBlogLog and others.

sounds like everyone likes #1 the most, and everyone is sick of digg (ruze it) buttons ;)

Number one is gold.

Two and three: I'm always a little disappointed when I see my favorite bloggers duplicating their posts on different platforms.

Plus 2 and 3 would turn Gooruze into a big deja vu platform.

thanks for the feedback Xavier...it does seem that idea 1 - is the popular choice.

As Gooruze strives to be a one stop resource for online marketers - we rely on people adding their content to the community (duplication to a certain extent)...it helps other Gooruze members discover it...(hence the premise behind ideas 2 & 3)...but i understand your "deja vu" concerns...

I vote for option 1 and 3. I like 2 just not as much as the other two.

Another idea might be to allow certain awards you have won within the community to be posted on your blog/ website.

Might just be another capability of the Member Widget.

Can't think of what else to add to them.

Yeah, 1 & 3 for me,  and would prefer a smaller widget option too, as opposed to the large squares. Wider than it is long, would be my choice.

Shendison, what would be the ideal dimension for the widgets (in pixels) of this smaller option??
