Skribit.com - Suggest Blog Topics

If you don’t believe that a feasible and well-made website can be created in fifty-four hours, take a look at Skribit. The site was created during Atlanta start-up weekend, and is an application that allows readers to suggest blog entry topics and vote on potential editorials. For common blog platforms like Typepad or Wordpress, Skribit provides an installation wizard, so you don’t have to bother with entering in code. If you use other platforms, Skribit provides a line of code and directions on how to enter it in. For blog owners, Skribit is an end to writer’s block and a way to gain user insight. For readers, it is a way to get their opinion out there.

“The Skribit application offers a revolutionary way to take the pulse of your readership and access a never-ending stream of topics. By adding the tool to your blog, you have the ability to let your readers post suggestions about what they want to see.”

Typically, the only form of user feedback comes in the comments section of a blog- not the most pertinent time to suggest blog entries. Skribit is a direct and specific channel for readers to see what they want to see.

Could readers mistake the application for an ad? It is displayed on the side column, has a large logo, and is in the same format as many ads. Also, it would be great to see, on the Skribit website, if an author has written on a suggested topic.
