Beyond Web 2.0: Interactive Widget

As you can see in the sidebar, we’re testing the new, interactive rating and review widget from RateItAll.com. This innovative widget is almost better than Web 2.0 - it actually extends the RateItAll community beyond the boundaries of its website. Not only can RateItAll members easily review the site they are visiting, non-members can join the community in an incredibly simple manner - entirely inside the widget! By entering an email address, username, and password, the site visitor is immediately added to the RateItAll community and can review the site they are visiting.

I see a lot of communities, and I’m used to lengthy forms that must be completed, email activations that must be clicked, etc. RateItAll has pared the joining process down to the bare minimum, and does it all on sites owned by others. What’s not to like about that?

If you want to try it out, the widget is below. Feel free to post a comment here about your experience. (If you try it out, remember - one star is bad, 5 stars is good! :) ) And don’t tell anyone, but the secret signup form for the closed beta test is here.
