I’m Testing CitizenNet.com for Mixergy Reader Dan Benyamin

Posted on Aug 25, 2009 - 6:29 PM PST

CitizenNet

Dan Beyamin emailed me and asked me to try out his site. I offered to do it in the less popular section of my site, Mixergy.com/etc

Here’s my feedback for Dan.

What I like

1. The simple search interface, is familiar and easy to use.

easy search bar

2. I like seeing the widget I created quickly & the embed code next to it.

I like the results

What I don’t like

1. The embed code the site generated didn’t work.

This is the code I got:

< script type=”text/javascript”>param_width = 450;param_height = 850;param_i = 1123;param_style = “notification_feed”;param_colorscheme = “light”;param_canvascolor = “EEEEEE”; param_accordion_bar = “FD7215″;param_slide = “on”; < /script>< script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://widget.citizennet.com/app/widget/generatefeeds.php”>

This is what it looks like on my site:

result

2. Even when it works, I can’t interact with it. I can’t add comments or respond to what others have said.

Ideally, this is what it’s supposed to look like

    Thanks Andrew for trying out (and on your live site nonetheless)!

    We'll get this embed code worked out asap, and will be rolling out Twitter OAuth login so that you can reply directly in the feed. We'll let you know so that you can give it a shot again….
