Cownter App

Cownter is a service that allows website visitors to see how many people are currently looking at different pages within the site. When a visitor mouses over a LINK, a small bubble pops up telling them how many people are currently on that page.

With Cownter, visitors can quickly tell how many people are reading a particular article on a news site or how many people are looking at a product on a shopping site.

Website owners can put this powerful service to work with very little effort. They just include a JavaScript snippet on every page of the site, and our service does everything else. Owners will be able to look at their statistics and even automatically rearange links based on how many people are looking at them.

Cownter also offers website visitors the ability to toggle the cownter bubbles on and off by clicking on the cownter button:

Cowrate App

Cowrate is a service that allows website visitors to rate pages within the site. A bubble shows up on the bottom right corner of each page with the current rating and thumbs up and down buttons.

This simple interface collects information about which pages visitors liked. The website owner just includes a JavaScript snippet on every page of the site, and our service does everything else. Owners can assign pages to categories and give them names. Ratings for each category of pages can then be shown with a widget or by using our API. This offers an easy implementation of features similar to Digg or Reddit.

Cowrate also offers website visitors the ability to toggle the cowrate bubble on and off by clicking on the cowrate button:
