Add your Twitter/Jaiku accounts to LouderVoice

By Conor O'Neill in Blog

December 19, 2007

After a long gestation peroid we now have proper Twitter and Jaiku support in LouderVoice. Each LouderMini review you do on those sites will be associated to your account here along with any SMS reviews or blog reviews that you do. We have changed the approach from the previous @review on Twitter and #reviews on Jaiku. It is now basically identical to SMS. To enable it, go to your “My Settings” page on LouderVoice and enter your Twitter and/or Jaiku details as a source.

Mini-Review Tweak

By Conor O'Neill in Blog

December 3, 2007

After getting a lot of user feedback we’ve decided to change the format used in mini-reviews slightly. Whereas before you used fullstop+space to separate the reviewed item from the opinion, we now encourage you to use a colon. This should reduce the number of invalid reviews where the space was left out. Many people also felt that the colon was more logical. Note that we will continue to support the old format too.

WordPress.com Broken

By Conor O'Neill in Blog

September 5, 2007

Just a quick note to all our wordpress.com reviewers. Right now you will get an error if you post reviews from LouderVoice to this site. They broke something over the weekend which interferes with remote publishing of blog posts. We are not the only ones suffering with this, Flock and BlogDesk are too. The basic problem is that whilst the post actually succeeds, the wordpress.com site returns an invalid response when we ask for the URL of the new post.
