While 2009 was a year to keep our noses to the grindstone, many of us let our personal blogs languish in decay. Whether it’s offline or online, it’s never healthy to neglect yourself or those who care about you. One way to turn over a new leaf and keep your community engaged in 2010 is to install community toolbar Wibya.
Similar to the Meebo Bar, Wibya encourages audience members to share content across networks. Depending on the widgets you choose, you can translate text into more than 11 languages, track your real-time visitors with Who’s.amung.us and share content via a number of social networks. The service also allows you to create a built-in Tinychat application with video functionality and full Twitter and Facebook integration. Tools are offered in an application storefront and are categorized to increase page views, encourage content sharing and enrich content.
As seen with Meebo and other cross-platform sharing tools, Wibya is expected to steward community engagement and interaction. To ensure that these applications are effectively reaching our audiences we can delve further into application click-through rates by pouring through the service’s customizable dashboard. Backed by legendary Israeli investor Yossi Vardi, it’ll be interesting to see whether Wibya or Meebo comes out on top.
