Intro:

Wibiya is a great, free toolbar utility, that you can add to any website, blog, or forum, quickly and easily.

The toolbar itself, is not like the one's you will be thinking about (The one's that fill up the top of Internet Explorer).  Instead, it is one, that sits at the bottom of your website (The pages you choose to put it on) and can be minimized by the user.

With handy utilities like the 'Facebook Like' button, Google Translate, Games, Share and Chat (And much more), that do not take the user off your website, your visitors will have even more reason to come back, day after day.

This website is designed for anybody looking to increase their websites popularity.


The Good


Great platform and very easy to install with lots of modifications to choose from.


The needs improvement section


I personally think that the pricing scheme is a little expencive for what you get, however, the free, branded version is more than enough for the average user.

I think you should visit this website if you are looking to boost your visitor numbers, and have them come back day after day.


How does it compare to similar sites in the same catagory

Much easier to install, and much neater than its competitors.

I found wibiya and meebo toolbars very annoying on some of wordpress sites and on squidoo. I don't know why i hated scrolling when these toolbars are ON. Makes site look more cluttered than useful.

I don't know about meebo but I know the Wibiya has a minimize/hide button on it.
