Mirror Group Launches New 3am Celebrity Gossip Site

(PRWEB) August 20, 2009

The Mirror Group has announced the upcoming launch of 3am.co.uk, a new, standalone site based on the Mirror newspaper column of the same name, revealing the latest celebrity gossip.

3am (http://www.3am.co.uk/ ) takes the world famous 3am recipe of gossip, exclusives, and attitude-laden fun-poking at the world of celebs – and for the first time delivers it to a whole new audience via a brand new bespoke website.

“In 2000, 3am made everything that had gone before it in newspapers look tired and boring. Here was a fresh new attitude in reporting showbiz and the genre has never been the same since,” said Richard Wallace, editor of the Daily Mirror. “Now we’ve done it again – this time online. 3am.co.uk is innovative, clever, funny and brilliantly designed. We believe it will grow to become a must bookmark for highly engaged audiences wanting the very best in celebrity news and comment. And we believe the commercial opportunities in having such an audience are very exciting.”

The website promises a unique voice in the world of celebrity news (http://www.3am.co.uk/Gasp/ ) and celebrity gossip (http://www.3am.co.uk/Ooh/ ).

Fans will be able to vote celebrities up or down from the A-List to the Z-List.

They’ll also be able to pass judgment on whether outfits are working or not, if the right person was booted off the X-Factor, and, of course, who is winning in the Katie Price / Peter Andre (http://www.3am.co.uk/celebrity-finder/ ) PR battle.

Instant breaking news will be delivered via “bleats” from the site’s trademark wicked sheep.

And a special dynamic 3am.co.uk calendar will mean readers never again miss the unmissable. Like, for instance, the date Kate Moss’s latest Topshop range hits stores.

Showbiz fans in a hurry will be able to get their 3am.co.uk fix in double quick time, by using the site’s groundbreaking “3am-in-a-flash” feature.

3am.co.uk editor Isabel Mohan said: “3am.co.uk will be breaking stories, pumping out gossip and keeping users updated on scandal, but it’s the voice of the site that will keep them coming back time and time again.”

The site has been developed over the last six months and will be supported by a full marketing campaign including in-paper support, TV, promotions and giveaways.

The new 3am site from The Mirror launches on the 18th August.

Mirror Group Newspapers is owned by Trinity Mirror plc, one of the UK’s largest newspaper publishers, with an award winning portfolio including five national newspapers, over 120 regional newspapers and 400 plus digital products.

Buzzway Launches Aggregator for Trending News

Milpitas, CA (PRWEB) July 11, 2011

Recent advancements in internet and mobile technologies have made information easier to find than ever before. At the same time, we are constantly confronted with information and thoughts from an increasing number of sources including blogs, microblogs, and social networking sites. Prioritizing what we choose to read requires time and energy.

Today Buzzway, an emerging company, announced the release of an online service to facilitate the discovery of trending news. The company’s technology listens for newly-published information from around the internet and prioritizes news stories based on popularity and reach. The public can track these trending news stories throughout the day from the company?s clean web interface (http://www.buzzway.com).

In addition to this now-available web site, Buzzway?s technology gives the company the ability to analyze news events as they evolve from origination to obsolescence. Data released today shows an increase in the influence that bloggers have in breaking news. In June, bloggers originated over 21% of trending news stories on the internet. This figure represents an increase over the 17% finding in May, when outside events surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden dominated headlines. Traditional news sources covered these events heavily, lessening the influence of other sources on trending news.

Other findings show that blogging influence varies greatly between news categories. In technology, for example, bloggers originated 34% of stories while in world affairs that number drops to 11%. Not surprisingly, these figures are higher in areas not covered as deeply by the traditional media. Buzzway expects to expand its data collection to dozens of categories by the end of the year for greater insight into news trends.

Spleak Media Network Launches CelebSpleak, the World’s First Pulse of Teenage Pop Culture

San Francisco (PRWEB) November 12, 2007

Today, Spleak Media Network, the pulse of pop culture, introduced CelebSpleak (http://www.spleak.com), a new content distribution platform designed to satisfy teenagers’ insatiable appetite for hot celebrity gossip. Spleak has reinvented pop culture consumption for the new generation by using short form content (250 characters or less), which users are able to create, rate and share with millions of other teens. CelebSpleak is available everywhere online such as Instant Messaging (IM) applications like AIM (http://www.aim.com) and MSN/Windows Live Messenger (http://get.live.com/messenger/overview), and social networking sites such as Piczo (http://www.spleak.piczo.com/?cr=4&rfm=y&proid=49) and MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/spleaksworld). Celebrity gossip is just the beginning for Spleak Media Network – the company plans to launch more Spleaks focused on other areas of high interest to teens in the coming year.

In the Know, 24/7

Spleak users can add CelebSpleak to their AIM (http://www.aim.com) or MSN/Windows Live Messenger (http://get.live.com/messenger/overview) buddy list, just as one adds any other friend, or add CelebSpleak as a widget to their profile page, blog or Web site. They can then instantly voice their opinions on their favorite (or least favorite) celebrities and stay in the loop on the hottest gossip. Unlike traditional social networks, users do not post personal information or photos and Spleak does not enable or facilitate introductions between community members. Spleak is a moderated community where profanity screening and the quick and easy removal of potentially offensive content are key building blocks within the system’s architecture.

Shorter is Better

CelebSpleak is the next step in the evolution of teen content consumption. Long blog entries are being replaced by short CelebSpleak “Tattles” (gossip stories written in 250 characters or less) read instantly by the large and growing Spleak user base. When a user publishes a “Tattle,” teens all over the world can read it via IM or on their CelebSpleak Web widget.

“Teenagers today even see blogs as outdated and Internet video as too slow in terms of getting information. They want to consume online content quickly and be ‘in the know’ without navigating away from their IM buddy list or social networking site,” said Morrie Eisenberg, CEO of Spleak Media Network. “CelebSpleak provides the celebrity gossip our users care about, the way they want it, and gives them the power of citizen journalism in seconds.”

“Since featuring Spleak Media Network on our site, it’s received more than 90,000 hits. Our users can’t seem to get enough of its gossip content,” said Jeremy Verba, CEO of Piczo. “With the CelebSpleak widget, our community members are immediately in touch with the hottest celebrity news and can contribute their own voice on these topics through Spleak’s ‘Tattles’ – a feature that is really resonating with this crowd!”

CelebSpleak currently has more than 100,000 active users a day and 15,000 new users a day. To view CelebSpleak or to add Spleak to a MySpace page or IM, visit http://www.spleak.com.

About Spleak Media Network:

Spleak Media Network is the pulse of pop culture – fresh, relevant and quick to consume content delivered to where teens are online. Spleak makes it easy for teens to define their own pop culture, allowing them to instantly share their perspective with millions of their peers in 250 characters or less. Based in San Francisco, Spleak Media Network is venture-backed by Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ) and Sunstone Capital and is privately-held.
