Champing at the bit
The most important feature of LouderVoice (in fact its whole point) is the ability to publish structured reviews to your blog and for us to collect them too. This has not been enabled during Beta test yet and I know many of you are dying to test it out. I hope we can turn it on very very soon and this is just to let you know where we are both in development and testing.
- Movable Type – Fully functional, may do some style tweaks
- Typepad – Fully functional, may do some style tweaks
- Live Journal – One outstanding bug
- Wordpress.com – Testing almost complete, appears to be fully functional
- Hosted Wordpress – Ditto
- WPMU – Ditto
- Blogspot/Blogger- Under development. Won’t be available until full launch
- Windows Live Spaces – they break the markup but they have said they are working on that
Once we’ve added more robustness, we’ll be allowing all the beta testers to switch over to their own blogs. We’ll let you know asap.

“Typepad – Fully functional, may do some style tweaks”
Excellent, can’t wait. Sorry I haven’t used my beta account to do a whole lot but I’m a self centered git and if I can’t publish it to my own blog I feel like it’s not worth my while,… which goes to prove Joshua Poter’s “del.icio.us lesson” – a) tagging’s primary use is for personal gain (bookmarking) with network benefits as a secondary (but very powerful) effect”. Which can of course be translated to any social software thus – personal value first, social value second.
It really is why we exist.
I have never written a review of anything anywhere other than my blog. It starts with 100% personal gain (my reviews on my site building my reputation) but if the value of that can be increased through minimal effort, then I’ll buy in.
We’re really are very close to allowing users to go “public” James. Then the real fun begins!
