What Happen To Wibiya Bar On Marketingprofs Site?

Posted by totem on 1/22/2011 at 7:19 PM ET 25 Points
I noticed the Wibiya toolbar on MarketingProfs site is recently removed. I've been investigating the widget and its use and now it is gone here!

Anyone know why it was removed? Was it a technically problem? Or was it just ineffective?

    Hi Steven,
    The toolbar often produced scripting errors and contributed to excess page load times. The potential impacts of the toolbar out weighed the benefits, at this point.

    Interesting... thanks for letting me know, Aaron. This is not the first report I've seen of Wibiya being dropped for performance problems.

    I am currently publishing a comparison of the available sharebars. From my research so far, it seems that Meebo is far more technologically considerate than Wibiya. And maybe AddThis bar yet even more.

    You might look at those. I am happy to share if you need anything.
