Tagometer Widget from Del.icio.us

Most blogs thesedays have social bookmarking links or buttons below the post. These buttons makes it convenient for your readers to bookmark / submit your post to social networks such as Del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook and few more. Del.icio.us has launched a new widget called ‘Tagometer’, it shows number of people who have bookmarked the page along with a button to bookmark that page. If no one has bookmarked that page, it will say “be the first to bookmark this page!”.

The widget automatically identifies the page (so if the widget is placed on the homepage, it bookmarks the home. If its placed on individual posts, it bookmarks that post). The widget is created using Javascript, so it won’t fit on MySpace.

Tagometer is available in two formats, Tall Badge and One Line Badge. Tall Badge is designed to fit inside your sidebar, where as One Line Badge should go perfectly below your content.

Feedburner have also released the Tagometer FeedFlare unit, so that you can take the full advantage of Tagometer on your feeds.

I think Tagometer is cool, but if you place it below your content, no room will be left for other social bookmarking badges. If your interested in implementing Tagometer on your blog, go here.

Note: A live preview can be seen beneath this post.
