Wibiya Web Toolbar

Yesterday I found a very interesting plugin: it inserts a web toolbar to increase web site usability and offers tools to “enhance” community on Flickr, Facebook and Twitter.

You can see fully working on Phylosoft, is the bar that appears at the bottom.

The bar is available in 20 languages and their features are: search site and Google search, translated into 10 languages, direct access to the most recent entries, access to a random post, Flickr photos (from an album defined by the user), subscribing to the RSS Feed, Share in 11 social media, Fan Page on Facebook, Twitter account access and notifications (appear when the page loads in the lower right corner).

For now, I left without adding another 2 functionalities: building community on Facebook (through Facebook Connect) and Games.

How to configure / install? I was surprised how easy it was, everything is done from the web Wibiya. Invitation is required to access and can be ordered on the same site, since the requested it took a couple of hours to arrive.

After signing with the invitation, I only need to choose color, functionality and provide users of social networks and four different data on the web in which you want to install the toolbar. That done, ask how you want to download the code, whether in the form of plugin for Wordpress, Blogger, TypePad or the script that builds it.

Following the steps according to the CMS of your website, you have it working.

In addition, the web Wibiya give you different tools to interact with users through the bar and statistics using it. You can: send notifications to all your readers, or create community on Facebook and see the usage statistics of each of the chosen roles.

Moreover, and if you play with the bar, you see the whole operation is very fast and continuous movement and about how they are different options. I think the bar runs with a script from wibiya servers so it should not overburden themselves (which could be cause for removal).

Well, who installs it? and by the way, join in Phylosoft Flickr, Facebook and Twitter.
