Here’s an implementation of the rating widget in Japanese. Kudos yoichi!

This is a really great site that has recently installed the Spotback rating widget.

Drink of the week is a treasure trove of drink recipes, bar tending tips, cool drink ware and other fun tidbits.

In http://www.drinkoftheweek.com you can find a new delicious cocktail recipe every week, and by using the Spotback widget you can then rate and view other recommendations for more excellent drinks.

What’s also cool about the rating in ‘Drink of the week’ is its very unique widget design as shown bellow.
