Buzz - Integrating 3rd-Party Comments

A new part of the Snapact website revamp will include a ‘buzz’ page - the title may change, but we want to expose what people are saying about Snapact (including ourselves, of course).

We have plans to pull in data from blog aggregators and Twitter, to start with.  We’ll display the most recent items on a www.snapact.com page for all to see.  Not only do we want to be open about what people are saying, but we want to encourage ‘link love’ - having a blog posting that you’ve written appear on our buzz page will likely help your blog’s ranking, or that’s the general idea anyway.

We’ll be doing something similar for Twitter too - and likely, we’ll introduce further aggregation in the future.  What do you think of this idea?  Good or bad?
