Badzu.net: the new participatory information website that guides readers through the most up-to-date news online
Milan, April 7, 2008 – Badzu.net has finally arrived! Blogo.it, the Italian blog network with more than 40 by genre blogs and more than five million readers per month, has just launched a new participatory information website: Badzu.net.
Thanks to Badzu.net, there is a new way for internet users to discover, rate and share content found online. Through the use of news rating, an innovative system that helped determine the global success of Digg.com and Reddit.com, Badzu.net offers readers a homepage with content that is always new and updated automatically based on reader’s votes.
It is not up to editors anymore to decide what gets published. Now readers are the ones who decide what news to offer to the public based on the content that they find most interesting, curious or fun. This allows the public to decide what kind of visibility the news should receive in real time.
Badzu.net. allows users to choose, watch and comment on videos from the most popular content sharing websites, subdivided by subject and rated by other users: this useful function allows even less expert internet users to find the best news content online. “We are happy to take on the successful participatory information model, bringing readers to the forefront of Web 2.0. Badzu will give an emphasis to news that reaches us from our blogs”, says Luca Lizzeri, Chief Technical Officer of Blogo.it.
