Adult and non-english results are filtered out.

All results are not adult filtered, family friendly and still packed with many pretty boys and girls - only in decent clothing.
Also, only English results are now shown.
Analyzing the usage pattern using web analytics, I've decided to change the order of sections on the navigation bar in hope it will better accommodate the "natural" navigation order.

Spanish Buzzingo?

Everyday, at around 11:00-13:00 PST, many of the news items "getting lucky"" on buzzingo are in Spanish (or other language). Obviously non-english news sites choose this hour to publish they best "Briteney Spears" action.

Do you think I should leave that at be, as part of the great mirror Buzzingo is of the ocean waves of Internet? OR should I filter out non-english results?

Your comments welcome. Feel free to email me also

Changed default page to Moving Up

Default buzzingo landing page changed from Hot Buzz to Moving Up. The Moving Up page consists of the "top gainers" i.e. search queries that gained the most popularity comparing to yesterday, while "Hot Buzz" is the most popoular search terms per day, which tends to change less rapidly. Also, the Moving Up page gives you a glimpse to the grapevine of the Internet, things that people are searching for TODAY which are different then what they searched for yesterday. The inside.

Lots of traffic this last couple of days. Thanks all.

Up and running smoothly

Yesterday buzzingo suffered from some hiccups. The site sometimes yielded errors, and was generally mis-behaving. I'm glad to announce that the site is fully functional now, works smoothly, updated every hour. The works.

Buzzingo!

Ruby on Rails has got me rolling on a bindge of creativeness. Last week I've put online http://bibli.ca. While doing it, I got the idea for buzzingo - a mesh-up between Yahoo Buzz and Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" concept.
Implementation with RoR was a relative breeze.

My TextDrive account is at its limit. I need to host Buzzingo somewhre else. If anyone feeling like donating some bandwidth and a linux box space - i'de be grateful ;)
