New York, NY (PRWEB) January 27, 2010
A new social Web site is giving people a unique opportunity to discuss the latest “buzz” with others worldwide. Called YouBuzz.com, the free site is a world-class social media/micro-blogging community where people can buzz about what’s happening in their day—good or bad.
Contrary to other micro-blog sites, YouBuzz enables users to communicate about almost anything and everything. What’s more, users can sound off in more than two dozen categories. They can post up to 750 characters of text in areas ranging from events, family and school to sports, money and work. Users can also attach a link, picture or video to enhance their post and expand their message. “We believe that YouBuzz allows the user more leverage than other social media platforms, as members have a personal connection with other users,” said Darren Gaudry, CEO of YouBuzz Pty Ltd.
The ultimate social media platform, YouBuzz has been well received by people everywhere, according to Gaudry. “Users are registering with YouBuzz from all over the world, which is telling us that this platform was certainly needed,” he said. “Users are telling us that they love this new site, and it is like a breath of fresh air.”
YouBuzz’s goal is to provide a people-oriented Web site that enables its members to have a distinctly personal touch as they share details about what has them buzzing. Users can make different responses to the posts they encounter on the site. For example, they can “Pollinate” a post if they like it and “Sting” any posts they don’t like. They can also press the “Buzz Off” button when they find content that is objectionable—which creates consequences. “If more than 10 people apply the Buzz Off button, the content will be removed from the site with a response being posted from admin to advise this user that the content that they have posted is unacceptable,” Gaudry said.
Keeping offensive material from invading the site is critical to YouBuzz. So is the prevention of anything that can be considered spammy. As such, YouBuzz has moderators that work diligently to thwart any instances of spam. In addition, the site is community-scrutinized and community-edited for an added level of vigilance.
YouBuzz has an intuitive design that’s easy for people to use and enjoy. The Web site has a variety of special features for members, such as the Latest 25 Buzzers, Top 25 Buzzers and Most Commented. For additional interest, users can also view posts that have been designated as the Most Pollinated and Most Stung. Another feature allows people to share buzz posts they like with others on popular social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. There are also buzz feeds that make it easy for members to follow posts by other buzzers. Members can also use the Statuses feature to view comments according to distinctive groups, from NewBee (buzzers with fewer than five posts) to SuperBee and QueenBee (male and female buzzers with more than 100 posts).
Site visitors can start buzzing on YouBuzz immediately by simply registering for a free account using a valid email address. For more information about YouBuzz, please visit http://www.youbuzz.com.
