A couple of weeks ago, two web based services launched that allow any web designer to add a commenting and rating system to any page they create. Both of these systems can be incorporated into your pages by adding a very simple snippet of JavaScript code to your page.

• Star It! is a star rating system that allows visitors to rate your content using a 5 star system.
• JS Kit if a fully featured threaded comment system.

Of course the upside of these tools are that they are simple to use. The downside is that your data is stored in somebody else’s database so you need to have some trust that these services will be around for a while.

Both comments and pings are currently closed.
