    Just nominated NewsCred.com in the social news category. One of my new faves.
  • Tyler Hayes · 1 year ago
    UserVoice is absolutely, by and far, one of the best applications on the web. I really had a desperate need for a customer feedback option and everything was so pricey! I posted my feelings on Twitter, and not even a minute later got a response from a higher-up at UV. Truly a great presence, very nice people, and let's not forget how superb & easy to use their app is.

  • Bruce · 1 year ago
    Hey Adam, did it accept nominations that were hanging?
  • Adam Hirsch · 1 year ago
    Bruce, if you didn't get a confirmation e-mail, then no. All nominations must be confirmed by clicking through the confirmation e-mail (To prevent spam and fraud, and we have other measures in place this year too).
  • Bruce · 1 year ago

    Hey adam and team!
    I didn't manage to embed the widget on my 2 different blogs (Tumblr, and wordpress), are you guys sure it is working?
    Thanks for the help!
  • Adam Hirsch · 1 year ago
    Hey Ilan, let me know if it didn't work yet. IF you copy and paste in the HTML (not visual) editor it should work (since it's iframe code).

    Hope that helps!

    How is it when nominate Plurk, my fave social network, that I get asked to TWITTER it? Isn't twitter a dead whale, only every once in a while gasping a few moments of life now and then?

    Just because CNN has picked it up in the past few weeks we still think it's alive? How can an app that is malfunctioning so often still be THE one people continue to excuse. Heck, I'd have thrown Twitter-as-a-student out on it's ear MONTHS ago.
  • Lisa · 1 year ago
