SezWho 2.0
April 17th, 2008
We are thrilled to announce the availability of SezWho 2.0. Most of it is based on your feedback…Its a big release with a lot of features:
Enhanced User Interface Flexibility
- You asked for it, so here we are: Enhanced design along with full CSS flexibility. Check out the”Edit Presentation” link against your blog in the myAccount page. This link launches you into a ui config nirvana with a number of pre-packed design options. See the screen shots below:
- Support for template modifications to get the exact markup that works. With this approach users can layout their pages exactly as they like.
- Cross platform avatars (users don’t need to reload the avatars again and again)…SezWho reuses users’ existing avatars like from Gravatar.
Expanded Platform Reach and Enhanced Openness
- Rating and context of posts (in addition to comments): This means that users can build a reputation profile based on posts as well as comments. Look at the end of this post for an example:
- Expanded blogging platform support: Drupal, Blogger (Beta), Wordpress 2.5: Check it out in action over at a number of sites like:
Blogger: My @Ventures
More coming soon.
- Expanded support for phpBB to engage communities in other social interactions online.Check it out at SezWho Support
- SezWho Developer Toolkit, with APIs, tools, and guidance in expanding SezWho to virtually any social media site. Its called SZPDK.
- Open activity stream via RSS for readers. This is cool because now you can follow your favorite commenter via RSS or aggregator like FriendsFeed or SocialThing.
- Open user authentications via OpenID. We now support OpenID based comments and registration and login using OpenID … (We just took the registration and login part down because of some issues…should be back up soon).
Enhanced Reputation and Ratings
- Support for anonymous ratings.
- Support for authenticated ratings.
- Support for participation-based credits. This means that posting and comments earn you reputation credits in SezWho algorithm.
- Improved analysis of context-based reputations.
Phew!!! That was a lot…Let us know what you think?

Well, I think I might like it, if I can get it configured correctly. I just installed it on my Blogger, and still trying to see how it works. It definitely is quite a igneous device.

Great service guys! I’ve been trying to decide for a while to implement it or not and 2.0 made sure I have made the right decision
Keep am coming!

Hello all, Finally, it is working, I made a comment elsewhere about this, however decided to let people here know that those with bloggers from Google, it is working great! I just love the program, beta or not. It has a few quirks like causing errors. It caused my page to shut down, or maybe it was something else, but anyways for the most part just a great program.

Hey Skye, Good to hear from you and welcome to the community…Please let me know if you run into any issues or can see the error you are talking about consistently and we will be happy to address it.
Thanks, Jitendra

Hey, that’s the link to my blog up there! (My @Ventures) Go check it out! (lol), but I wish they’d put a link to some other post…
Btw, do inform me when I can start to follow my comments/ favourite commenters. Yey!
May 7th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Oh! I just realized that I already can follow using the (check me out) link. Cool! I can even see comments I’ve made at some other people’s blogs! How do I follow comments that they made on the comments that I made on their blogs though? Is that possible yet?
