About ten days ago, Seeking Alpha launched its new website. The new site includes a number of new additions (you can read about the new version here), including a great new story feedback and recommendation system powered by Spotback. The new recommendation system allows users to rate specific stories as interesting or not interesting and receive recommendations to additional relevant content based on their preferences. Spotback also handles Seeking Alpha’s Top Stories.

If you are interested in stock market opinions and analysis from blogs, money managers and investment newsletters as well as high-value, complementary financial content, you should check out Seeking Alpha.

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.

This is a great example of what can be done with the widget builder to create your on look and feel.

If you’re also interested in a special design for your widget, visit our widget gallery.
