SezWho Launches 2.0 Release; More Platforms and an API

Ratings and reputation provider SezWho has announced the launch of the 2.0 version of their application today. The first version only allowed ratings on comments, now you can rate the initial content as well. The SezWho blog has the 2.0 version installed and displays the content ratings in addition to the comments. SezWho does a great job of tracking a user's comments and ratings across multiple sites.

The 2.0 release offers more platforms as well - Drupal, Blogger and even phpBB forum software are supported. There's also a new SezWho Developer Toolkit which includes an API to allow you to expand the ratings service to more platforms. Lastly going with the flow, SezWho now offers a feed showing the latest rated content. This is a great feature as it could drive users past the home page.

The content ratings piece seems similar to what Outbrain offers (which we currently are using, non-paid) except that Outbrain provides suggestions on other posts based on the ratings and content of the rated post.

Check out our interview with SezWho CEO Jitendra Gupta to learn more about how SezWho works and how they differ from the competition (Disqus, IntenseDebate, Outbrain and JSKit).
