After a dreamy summer with long lazy days and sunny picnics, we are back at WOT HQ working full-steam ahead. It was fun to put together the October Inside MyWOT because we have much to share.

Our primary task is preparing the Community Trust Network for launch next month. But other exciting things are happening too - we are honored to be nominated for a prestigious award; we are getting some local press attention; developers are happy with our new API; and our add-on for Google Chrome made the news in several places.

Please take a few minutes to browse through the newsletter.

WOT members have rated millions of websites based on their knowledge and experiences. Site owners increasingly recognize the important contributions of our active and passionate community and the benefits they can derive from an excellent reputation.

To help site owners use their reputation to the best advantage, WOT is introducing the Community Trust Network this November.

Trust is at the heart of every transaction

For e-commerce sites, maintaining a good reputation is critical to their business success. It increases consumer confidence and helps them attract new customers. The Community Trust Network (CTN) is for websites that have earned an excellent or good rating from the WOT community. We provide site owners with tools to share WOT’s rating information with visitors and to collect feedback and ratings within a fair, unbiased, easy-to-use system that will attract new customers to their site.

What's in it for WOT?

We hope we can earn some income. WOT Services is a real company, but we have been dependent on our investors. We have employees, electric bills, server fees, and we occasionally need paper for our printer, so we hope the CTN will generate some income for us to stand on our own feet, while benefiting site owners.

Our community's support is vitally important to us. You are the most important asset we have, and our first priority is keeping the trust that we have established with you intact. We strive to be transparent in our business plans and keep you informed. Our goal of helping people stay safe on the Web remains the same.

Please stand behind us as we launch the CTN. As always, thank you for your important work.

WOT is a nominee for the 2009 SIME award

SIME is Northern Europe’s largest conference about the Internet and digital opportunities. In the run up to the November conference, the SIME awards jury screened hundreds of companies in the Nordic countries looking for the hottest rising stars. They started with a top level of more than 150 Internet and digital media companies, and for weeks they have been thinning the list. They have now chosen a diverse group of innovative companies for The Mighty 36.

Today the third round of contenders was announced, and WOT was among them! We are thrilled to have gotten this far, and to be listed with such luminaries as Spotify and Muxlim. The next step for the jurists is to select the three companies that have been most important to the development of interactive media in the Nordics 2009.

Dare we dream that WOT could be among them?! Keep your fingers crossed for us.
