I don’t think it has had a noticeable impact.

I’m going to do a followup post this week about how it’s performed.

It is quite good, but what is the effect on the load time of your page??

Hey guys nice to see more sites adding the Spotback widgets. I also installed it on The Plugg, and after two weeks I think it’s safe to say that our pageviews doubled and tripled. I see you didn’t install the little top story box on the sidebar, you should, it really draws attention.

I think it does look pretty cool and doesn’t seem to be slowing the pages down in it’s general operation for me – if it had caused the entire page to re-load to rate, i wouldn’t have bothered myself, but given it’s self-contained, i’m much more inclined to use it.

Will be interesting to see how you find it’s working in a week or two – depending how it goes, i may take a look at it myself.

I like the look of the plug-in and dig the idea behind it… I hope you will write a follow-up soon to see if it actually encourages folks to read your older posts… will you be watching the traffic on the older posts?

I saw this yesterday but my connection was a little slow so I just came back today. It looks like a great addition. The ability to rate and add tags definitely encourages readers to participate. I think I’ll try this out as soon as my connection normalizes.

I don’t know really…!
You are already having a lot of plugins, Ads…and more ads and JS to load, and putting this widget, will make things wrose!
At least with my connection :s

I put this on to my blog couple of weeks ago. initially the script loading used to block the page rendering which I am sure was fixed early this week.
