PeerBlogs

Increase traffic and engagement on all your pages with the new Gigya Toolbar, now available as a plugin.

Features:

• Get return traffic when users share and tweet from the toolbar.
• Supports 80 social destinations including Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Yahoo.
• The toolbar does not affect page load time as it’s only loaded at the end.
• Update status or tweet right from the toolbar. Site owners can set the default message text.
• Users can email friends and even import contacts from AOL, Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo.
• Hide/unhide the toolbar.

Coming soon: a number of features are currently in development and will be added gradually.

• Facebook “become a fan” button.
• Related tweets about site.
• Chat with social network friends directly from the toolbar.
• Make money with searches made from the toolbar.

Showcase site:

• Veggie Foodie

A number of 3rd party services have a neat feature which allows for logging into other web sites with their stored user credentials. Thus users of these 3rd party services can log into PeerBlogs and do not need to create yet another account and remember the login details.

However, a PeerBlogs user created by signing up with PeerBlogs itself is not the same user account when created with another authentication. Both work the same but cannot be merged.

If you have one or more blogs with PeerBlogs created with a “traditional” PeerBlogs account, then:

• you can continue to use both accounts,
• you can keep the old account and switch your activity to the new one,
• you can delete the old account and only use the new one (described below).

If you decided to get rid of your old PeerBlogs account and only use the new account created with a 3rd party authentication, follow these 3 simple steps.
