Couldn't find any relevant previous questions on this subject - feel free to refer me if I missed something.

I have been impressed by Dropbox's feature voting system, Votebox - see https://www.dropbox.com/help/136 for a description.

I'd like to add something similar when I launch my product site - it looks like Dropbox have put a lot of work into their version - has anyone got positive experiences with any commercial (or OSS) products that achieve the same sort of thing?

I'd be happy with hosted or self-hosted, open source or commercial (as long as the licensing costs are reasonable). It just needs to integrate "seamlessly" into my site (e.g., features.mysite.com, etc.).

Many thanks in advance - Steve.

Have you looked at UserVoice or GetSatisfaction? maybe one of those services will suffice your needs. If not, I'll appreciate it if you could reply with details... maybe there is a potential for a new competitor...

Ricardo - thanks for the response. UserVoice looks like just the sort of thing I was looking for, but as it happens, I'm now thinking of going with ZenDesk (zendesk.com) for my support platform, which has some sort of voting features built in. (It seems that GetSatisfaction is similar to ZenDesk, but more consumer-oriented; I was looking for a more 'enterprisey' support platform to suit my target market.) Thanks again for the useful input - Steve. – Steve Wilkinson Aug 29 '10 at 6:48
