Increasing Social Interaction in a Blog Using TeemingPod

As blogging evolves, one natural trend that is emerging strongly is making your blog more social. It becomes less of something to simply read, and more of a community destination in which to interact.

TeemingPod is a platform that helps you embed powerful social interactions right inside any web page, such as your blog. It provides a space on the blog for readers to do things together. It enables users to poll, debate, ask questions, leave useful links and perform group search. The idea is to bring community features to life on your blog and to stimulate social interaction.

The process for adding TeemingPod to your blog is quick and easy. TeemingPod provides a small code snippet which you can drop in your blog page easily.

Depending on how you want to control access to social interactions on your blog, TeemingPod provides two options.

TeemingPod provides public pods where blog readers can contribute to the pod with a “Guest” identity.

TeemingPod also supports private pods where user can login to the pod using her/his TeemingPod login, if she/he is a member of that pod.

Blogger has moderation rights for the pod to remove unwanted content. This keeps the social collaboration space clean and free of unwanted clutter. Blogger can also extract data from TeemingPod to a simple text file for further reference.

TeemingPod adds all the Web2.0 sizzle to any web page in no time, and your blog is no exception. This in turn increases stickiness and engagement of your blog. To read an interesting post on the tradeoffs between stickiness and engagement, do read our next article on this blog.

TeemingPod at Web 2.0 Expo, New York

You may whisper it subtly or cry it aloud from roof-tops; you may write it in small fonts in inconspicuous corners or big bold letters staring out of glossy brochures. What you can’t ignore is that the power of Web 2.0 is here to stay.

The O’Reilly Web 2.0 Expo at New York in September 2008 brought in bright sunny weather and the brightest minds of the creators of Web technologies together. It left the visitors starry eyed and enthusiastic about what the next generation of the Web is capable of.

One would have thought that action would begin after a couple of hours of the opening of the Expo. Exhibitors who wanted to give the final touches to their booths and go grab a coffee probably had their first cuppa only after 6pm!

The curiosity that TeemingPod drew as a platform for Embedded Social Interaction was awesome. How can so many activities like polling, discussions, questions & answers, searches to name a few; be done in a savvy, unobtrusive fashion without leaving your Web application or Web page?
