How to use Kigg as a service from other sites      Similar

In yesterday's post I started providing some detail about my use of Kigg to add rating functionality to the AspDotNetMVC site.

My end goal was to allow visitors to the AspDotNetMVC site to view the number of existing votes for each article (blog post, buzz, news, or video) and to vote for an article if they were logged in without having to jump over to the Kigg site to do so.

Whenever we see a number that precise, our ears perk up (we are secretly a hunting dog). 312,120? How did they arrive at that number? So we decided to do some math of our own. Counter's menu is broken down into the various choices you get to make about your burger. There are four types of "burger": beef, turkey, chicken, veggie. Each comes in three weights: 1/3lb, 2/3lb, and a hefty 1lb. You can get your burge...
