OpenDislike: Social Disliking Button

There are tons of websites and web services that showcase what people like or enjoy on the web. Then, there’s OpenDislike. Here, you can openly share the things that you dislike on the web. It’s a very simple way to tell the world about the things on the web that you find annoying.

For website owners, OpenDislike is also a way to promote site content. Users can simply use the dislike button if they happen to find one of your pages/posts unlikable. It may not be a positive way of creating buzz, but it’s still a promotion. It could be used to ignite discussions which can result to constructive criticisms.

OpenDislike is an alternative way for sites to generate buzz. It’s also a unique way of web sharing on the internet. Instead of sharing your likes, why not openly share your dislikes.

Quick Button Maker from the Buttonator

The Buttonator is a simple online button maker (I think that’s just about it). What else can I say? Just select a button design and place the text that you want to appear in it. You can select fonts for your text and choose a color that suites your taste. Oh, and you can also choose from a small list of button designs. You don’t have to register in order to create a button and download it. However, if you want your buttons to be hosted at buttonator, you have to sign up and create a profile.

Great for users who do not want to use image editors just to create a small and simple button.
