Posted by ilovegajeebo in startups on February 9, 2009
Indian Defence, Bollywood and NGO’s - There was no relationship we could possibly think of to inter connect them. Indipepal, a portal which provides info on these verticals, is a new entrant in the social networking cum content model.
The design just looks ok and needs a lot of work in regards of the content placement. The footer itself is 30% of the page size which doesnt give a good overall impression.

Socialmedian - Delivers the News, Filtered by Your Network
What urged them to start Socialmedian?
The internet has dramatically increased the volume of content available to users. People consume tons of info from news websites, blogs and new forms of user generated content like tweets, videos, and images.
More and more content is being created every day and as the noise level increases, people need help discovering just the most important stuff to them.
Users need help filtering the Internet so they can find the information they need for their jobs, their interests, and their passions.
Socialmedian, a app that envisions to resolve this issue, recreates the clips on the open Internet, enabling anyone anywhere to get the news filtered by their networks.
How does it works ?
To determine what constitutes something being relevant, newsworthy content, Socialmedian matches the streamed content from the people you follow on the service with the topical keywords in the news networks you’re a member of. Only those updates that match up will be displayed to you unless you configure the service otherwise.
Sounds Complicated? Just Try it, you would love it !!

NowPublic - Participatory News Network of Citizen Journalism
Posted by ilovegajeebo in Daily Featured Websites on December 8, 2008
NowPublic is a participatory news network which mobilizes an army of reporters to cover the events that define our world. In twelve short months, the company has become one of the fastest growing news organizations with thousands of reporters in over 140 countries.
NowPublic - Participatory News Network of Citizen Journalism
NowPublic lets citizens from all over the world write and contribute to news stories by sending in text, photos and/or videos. The site certainly employs the notion of “crowdsourcing,” as it is essentially a Wikipedia-like news service.
Major news corporations including CNN, BBC, MSNBC, and Gannet have all begun to include citizen-collected news content, and most recently the Associated Press partnered with NowPublic.com to incorporate their citizen content in stories and breaking news events.
NowPublic will be able to automatically group input from various users into hubs on developing stories. Whatever gets the most votes from the reading masses—the site gets about 1 million unique vistiors per month—ends up as the lead story.
The company’s long-term goals aren’t necessarily to become a social news destination, but rather become a news content supplier to other media sites and/or companies.
Other news companies could ultimately use NowPublic’s expansive reporting base to quickly cover breaking news and in other cases provide supplemental news coverage.
