The new WOT is just around the corner!
Срд 07 Ноя 2007 14:55:08 — Esa S.A new version of WOT will be launched soon. The new version will provide major improvements in the software – many of those that our user community pointed out in the recent user survey! The new beta of WOT for Firefox with significant functional enhancements will be released next week.
New features include:
-
More intuitive user interface
-
Easy-to-use controls for rating sites
-
Reputation components have been renamed to crystallize their meaning: trustworthiness, vendor reliability, privacy, and child safety of a web site
-
Warnings are based on those reputation components you choose to use
-
You can ignore child safety, privacy, or vendor reliability if you are not interested in them
-
The system shows how much supporting evidence there is behind a rating (reflects how many people have rated the site)
-
Mouse over on web search results shows ratings in a new pop-up with clear traffic light symbols
-
Settings allow you to select the level of protection: warnings can be triggered by red and yellow ratings, for example
-
Settings can be accessed easily from the rating window and they let you customize WOT to fit your individual needs
-
A quick one-page guide will instruct on understanding and giving ratings
WOT for Internet Explorer to be launched soon
WOT takes a giant leap forward! In just a few weeks WOT for Microsoft Internet Explorer will see the light of day. This enables us to reach over 90% of all Internet users. The functionality of the system will be the same on both Firefox and on Internet Explorer.
Expanding the WOT community
Against Intuition, the company behind WOT, has experienced a dramatic increase in employees and resources after our first round of funding in August. As a part of our marketing initiative we will launch our new web site with a fresh look and up-to-date content in a couple of weeks.
The best way to grow the WOT community is by word of mouth – we need your help in spreading the word of WOT to new Firefox and Internet Explorer users. Stay tuned for the launch of the new WOT!

Срд 07 Ноя 2007 18:28:07 — voyagerfan5761Thank you, thank you! WOT hasn't been updated in so long, it's nice to see a new version on the horizon. Looking forward to it! The improvements sound quite worthwhile. I had often wondered what some of those rating categories meant...
WOT for IE!?
Вск 11 Ноя 2007 06:38:44 — Yatti420Hey guys,,, Was just wondering will it be ie6\ie7 or?

Keep up the good work..
WOT for IE!?
Вск 11 Ноя 2007 09:46:39 — SamiWe'll support both IE 6 and 7.
Looks good so far...
Пнд 12 Ноя 2007 20:07:41 — Yatti420Cons... Im not a fan of the new bars... Id rather the old.... Settings look good... The new bars\settings menu is gonna take awhile to get use to... Is there away to use the previous settings "window"??...
Pros...
- Added categories are good...
- Custom "block" is good..
Great job on new version otherwise.. Im sure ill adjust to the human" icon...
Edit: My biggest hate is the new icon to indicate where ur rating is... The human icon sucks.. (it 2 big imo\no indicator of where ur rating actually is- the human icon takes like a good 4-5% or so.. perhaps put a line in da middle,similiar to old style..)
Looks good so far...
Втр 13 Ноя 2007 11:05:46 — SamiThanks for the feedback.

Срд 14 Ноя 2007 17:12:56 — voyagerfan5761I didn't think of it before when I sent in my feedback, but yes, I agree with Yatti420. It is somewhat difficult to tell where you are in a rating category. I think, as well, that a line down the middle, perhaps a dark gray, would make it easier.

Чтв 15 Ноя 2007 05:49:55 — SamiWe've thought about the user rating symbol ourselves and you're right, it's a bit difficult to tell what your exact rating is without knowing it's taken from the center line of the rating symbol. We might change this later, but I'm afraid it's not going to make it to this week's release. We have just submitted the final release version for review to Mozilla Add-ons. Thank you both for taking the time to test the preview version!
Preview Version
Чтв 15 Ноя 2007 23:09:10 — wehaveitallThe new version of wot has some very good improvements! The graphical effects are great (despite the slightly large human as mentioned before) and the features it brings are great! The ONLY thing I see that might need fixing (besides the slightly large human) is the settings button is not very visible. I'd suggest making it a tad bigger. Besides that, it look's great!
