What is SezWho

May 14th, 2008

Of late we have seen some confusion around what exactly is SezWho and what we are about…Let me try to address some of the common points:

What SezWho isn’t:

- Its not a comment replacement system

- It does not take over your content and does not introduce a single point of failure in your system

- It does not deal with comment spam. We believe that services like akismet/spam karma etc. do a great job of managing spam and we are not looking to reinvent the wheel.

- We do not provide a comment moderation system. We believe that native platforms like Wordpress, Drupal etc. have a good system with a very active community who are addresses this problem…Again not looking to reinvent the wheel

What SezWho is:

- We are a distributed context and reputation service for the social web - This means, we don’t manager your comments but we just provide context and reputation for the contributors on your site…End result- more contributions, more interactions and more engagement.

- SezWho provides context and reputation for the social web users, wherever they are producing content - this could take the form of a post (example at the bottom of this post), a comment, a discussion forum post (example here), a wiki entry and on and on and on….

- SezWho does not effect the SEO of a site as the content stays with your sites

- No issues with your content getting indexed twice as the content stays within your site only…SezWho just has the links to your content

- SezWho improves the community engagement. This means more comments, more ratings and better conversations

- SezWho enables discovery of interesting content based on profiles of your user

- SezWho is connecting over a million content items and has over 7K sites using the service at this point…We display over 200K profiles a month on different sites.

    I was looking for blog tools like sezwho for long time and it is really good concept for people to rate the blog posts as well as create the community. Will promote sezwho definitely.
