BuzzShout vs NeoBinariesApril 15, 2006 |
marko
I'd like to say hi to James from BuzzShout and commend him on his excelent user service. BuzzShout is community based buzz for web 2.0 applications and web sites. There was a long and dire need for this kind of service and James has jumped in it with both feet. While there are still a few things to iron out, the design looks good. And it is a brilliant (edit: though not so unique) idea. I hope James is prepared to handle the load that this will generate. So please head over to BuzzShout and while you are there, we'd appreciate it if you would leave a nice review about 14Dayz.
Then while I was writing this, another site that has almost exactly the same service was brought to my attention: Neo Binaries. To my pleasant surprise, 14Dayz is already listed (not by me) and is in the top 5 of viewed apps. Even though it doesn't have a review yet. We'd like it if you put in a good word there too... :) CommentsApril 16, 2006 07:45 AM

The core concept of both the sites are almost same. Features like “shout it” and improper presentation of applications, puts buzzshout in the category of “just another” OR “one of” digg or digglicious, sort of internet noise makers. Where as applications listed on Neo Binaries are more precise as they provide info about the company, publisher’s descriptions etc. The “publisher’s description” encourages me to write my viewpoint if I am not aligning with the publisher’s description for the app. I think, since both BuzzShout and NeoBinaries are conceptually a review sites, hence what is going to be important here are the number of “independent reviews” and comments posted by users and not the “vote” or “shouts” for a particular comment/ review and hence a Thumbs Up to Neobinaries.

While buzzshout does work as a concept, I think NEO Binaries is a better idea.
What makes NEO Binaries different is the editorial reviews that we make. We've got experts (who've been in the biz for a substantial time) who professionally review qualifying web2.0 applications. The idea being to guide the casual visitor to a correct decision than to just have a voice to the community (which is equally important, and present as well).
