JS-Kit Unveils Web 2.0 'Navigator' to Seething Throng of Web Publishers

Today the widget-Wonkas over at JS-Kit debuted Navigator, a web service that “distills” community opinion and user behavior (TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!) into a set of moderate-able and actionable site content views.

This yields two separate benefits:

Site managers can alter the service’s look and feel based on two different forms of data (what users say they want, and what they actually do)
Regular visitors get quick access to content attuned to their personal preferences (whether they know it or not)

The Navigator boasts:

Editor’s Picks, where users can also add or remove views, or build custom views
Hot-links to most active objects (by views or time)
“Top,” which provides access to the most popular items (weighted average)
Grab It,” which “viralizes” site content, enabling users to widgetize things they like and post it elsewhere

The hoped-for result is a decrease in bounce rates and an increase in page views. The company also promises it’ll be easy to deploy, and it’s browser-agnostic.
