WOT 3 beta with Website Reputation Scorecard now released
Tue 15 Apr 2008 01:45:42 PM UTC — Esa S.The WOT development team is happy to announce the release of the WOT 3 beta version! This release introduces excellent new features and improvements, focused around the much anticipated Website Reputation Scorecard.
Our aim is to make WOT more useful and relevant by providing a means to reveal underlying data explaining a site’s rating, and allowing community members to leave and share comments. Take a look at these real life scorecards:

All of us at Web of Trust thank our enthusiastic beta testers who are valuable participants in the development of the next release of WOT. They help us continually improve WOT by sharing ideas, and leaving comments and feedback in our forum and directly to the developers.

I'm currently testing it.
Tue 15 Apr 2008 02:37:39 PM UTC — machintrucI'm currently testing it. It's quite cool. I'm proud to belong in that beta program.
Love it!
Tue 15 Apr 2008 02:44:21 PM UTC — Toptiger5I love the beta, can't believe I was one of the "beta team" because the activity chart is very low for me. I just don't like the dark colors, but I can live with it. The beta rocks!
testing
Tue 15 Apr 2008 05:48:29 PM UTC — lordpakeThe scorecard does makes this interesting, especially in comparison to McAfee SiteAdvisor.
Love this tool! But, did I install it right?
Tue 15 Apr 2008 10:15:21 PM UTC — smackme420I am fairly new to the PC world. I am 50 yrs. old and just got my machine 6 months ago. So far, I am hooked on most of the video-based sites. I love the WOT tool because since I am new to this, I need reliable and honest info. My only concern is, did I install this right? I mean the Latest version. I tried a couple of times and don't know if I was successful. I guess I will find out as I play along. If any of the Firefox team can find out if I did or not,please let me know! I LOVE FIREFOX!!!!!
Satisifed
Tue 15 Apr 2008 10:24:50 PM UTC — sun charmI love how you can review comments with websites. It really shows WHY the site was rated bad/good. The one thing I don't like is how dark it is. The old colors I like better, But thats just my opinion.
Excellant!!!
Tue 15 Apr 2008 11:05:23 PM UTC — anandnavWow the new WOT Beta 3 is simply amazing, and more fun to use due to its commenting system and reading of other users comments on sites :-)
I'm very glad to be a WOT member always.
Thumbs Up for all makes of WOT!
Great work and excellent job and very nice demo as well.
Keep the web safer for everyone of us.

Anand N.
Very Useful
Tue 15 Apr 2008 11:47:56 PM UTC — JazspeakThe Web Of Trust is an excellent addition to the browsing experience. It is always good to have advanced knowledge of the safety of websites - to be forewarned is is to be forearmed.
Amazing
Wed 16 Apr 2008 12:37:26 AM UTC — LightAceI love that its more detailed and quickly tells me of a malicious site. The scorecard is another plus. However the only thing that I dislike are the darker colors, but thats just opinion. Overall it gets the job done which is what I really care about
Colors, Agreed
Wed 16 Apr 2008 04:38:43 AM UTC — voyagerfan5761As others have said, the add-on would do well to go back to the old colors, IMO. I dig the dot marker, though; the bust was way too hard to read accurately.
Now, the comments. I couldn't get the tables on the scorecards to page, but perhaps there's something wrong with my browser, or the code wasn't fully rolled-out yet (I tried this morning CDT). I like the comments, though. Makes WOT an even better competitor to SiteAdvisor (which I no longer like)
Love it
Wed 16 Apr 2008 04:45:36 AM UTC — N1c3Mmm Mmm baby, this is nice! I LOVE WOT!!!
Beta 3 is especially nice as well, glad I get to beta test it for you guys! :)
About the colors, I see lots of people like the brighter colors better, me personally, I like both the old and new colors, so I could really care less what you guys go with.
I can say this though, I think the new "darker" colors are actually easier on the eyes, but that might just be me...
Also I like using the little diamonds to rate a site now instead of having to use those "human pegs". :P
Anyways though, love the new WOT, love the scorecards, being able to comment and leave your own feedback!
Good Job!
Love WOT3 Beta
Wed 16 Apr 2008 11:08:36 AM UTC — dbornI haven't been a WOT user for very long but I much prefer WOT3 with the ability to leave and read comments. It makes it SO much more useful.
I too prefer the original lighter colors but it's not a big deal either way.
So far, the Beta seems ready for prime time! I've seen some non beta software that wasn't as polished and robust as WOT3!
Kudos to the whole team (and community), I'm glad to have found you! I will be sure to spread the joy with family and friends!
Excellent!
Wed 16 Apr 2008 03:09:46 PM UTC — guy6600crazyWaiting for the final WOT3. The new scorecard mechanism is great!
Its ok
Thu 17 Apr 2008 05:33:16 AM UTC — damanptyltdpretty much a more stable and improved version of the current one. mice job wot :)
Currently testing
Thu 17 Apr 2008 11:32:07 AM UTC — smithereenzI teach web design in a college and run a web design company.
In these times, it's great to have tools such as this to warn and protect everyone from "some" of the content we could find by accident.
Well done to the team and contributors.... please keep it up :)
wot. is great
Thu 17 Apr 2008 07:24:46 PM UTC — dlight1Thanks WOT Team
I think its grrreat, only used it about a week, but already found 2 sites, out of 63, that I prob. would have used if not for WOT.
Your Friend,
Dave
Wots What?...Wot not What!
Fri 18 Apr 2008 05:03:31 AM UTC — bobzeroWell Wot do you want for free?....What?, No....Not What!....Wot Rocks!
~bob~
hmmmm
Fri 18 Apr 2008 08:02:15 AM UTC — yesitismeyouknowalways good idea to wait for beta to become full version before downloading and since I haven't downloaded this yet you may wonder why I am commenting?
well I one of the comments there was a mention of a change in color!! please keep the current color they are good don't play with them they are comfortable for the eyes.
You can tell if an addon is great by looking at the discussions and comments, and when all they are talking about is color that tell you that WOT IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR .
awaiting the full release hopfully with the original colors.
I Like It
Fri 18 Apr 2008 11:14:50 AM UTC — BrainPulpWeb of Trust is great, except the colors.. they're too dark. They look kinda dirty. I liked the bright colors way better!
I Decided To Try it...
Mon 21 Apr 2008 01:14:40 AM UTC — Yatti420Im liking the new look & features....
Keep It Up!..
Peace
