Today we are happy to announce another first for the industry – A Real-time Recent Comments Widget.
Static home pages fail to show the vibrant, community activity occurring on a site. Echo’s new Real-time Recent Comments reveals the velocity of social activity across the site — driving readers to where the activity is now!
The stream includes Comments, Tweets and other social reactions from across the web. Each reaction is displayed with the visitor’s avatar, linkable title to the article, the first few lines of the comment, and the source of the content (E.g. Echo, Twitter, etc.)
The widget is designed to be displayed on site sidebars and on home pages. It continues our mission to turn static web pages into vibrant real-time experiences, driving Facebook style engagement on our publisher sites.
Publishers can customize “Recent Comments” to display reactions across the site or on a section by section basis. Any combination of Comments, Tweets, Diggs, etc. can also be added or removed from the stream.
You can install the widget by signing up for an Echo Pro Trial account and installing both the Comments and Recent Comments widget on your site.
You can see a live demo of the widget floating on the right side of this blog post. It is displaying comments and tweets from one of our customers Slate.com.
