buzzshout
BuzzShout tracks the hottest web technology companies through listings, social reviews, and editorials.

Their aim to cut through the hype
The second bubble is building, and it seems like a new web company is launching everyday. How can anyone keep up with what's really useful?

Their goal is to garner quality reviews and editorial content that reveal the truth about the buzz.

What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is a name that has been used for emerging web technologies that leverage network effects among internet users. Wikipedia has a good entry about this emerging trend.

What's up with the Shouts?
Each review on BuzzShout can be shouted for. If you find a review particularly useful, interesting, or just plain hilarious, Shout It! This way, it'll be easy to separate the good reviews from the chaff.

Review Writing Guidelines
Try to keep reviews relevant to the company in question. Do not use reviews solely as a billboard for promoting a rival company.
Talk about its features: What do you like? What don't you like? Be specific.
If you hate the company and its services, don't just rant about it. Make a suggestion!
We reserve the right to remove any offensive or inappropriate reviews.

Searching
