Social Media 'Smak'down - Social News Site For Women Launches
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 5, 2009 -- A whole new breed of social media is born: SmakNews.com (http://smaknews.com).
Far more than just a site where users can submit news written by someone else and simply vote it up or down, SmakNews.com (http://smaknews.com) aims to be the social news and networking site for women.
With categories split up between "For Her" and "Celebrity Gossip," the amount of estrogen-led topics is bound to come pouring out from its targeted demographic: females. Users can share interesting links they found on the web, or they can also opt to write their own articles directly through the site, or they can simply pose a question to the community and watch the dialogue unfold with all three types of submitted options -all of which begs consistently for one thing from the site: Smak Talk.
The staple of most social news sites is bookmarking and sharing stories users find interesting, and that's certainly a large feature of SmakNews.com (http://smaknews.com). Any article you find anywhere on the 'net, users are able to submit and share with thousands of women. But rather than to ask fellow users for a simple vote up or down, the women's touch here is expressed with a variety of mood-based feedback to choose from, including "Love it," "Hate it," "Want it," "LMAO," "WTF", "Gross", "One of a kind" and more.
SmakNews' other distinguishing feature would have to be the "Live Feed" where every action of your selected stories (or all actions from a particular user) is displayed in a Twitter-like fashion. SmakNews integrates a selective updater, a simple way to keep tabs of your friends and top stories of interest. Users are able to "follow" other users' Smak activity, just like on Twitter, or users can choose to follow certain stories, either option, expect your Smak Feed to be filled with endless streams of communication.
About SmakNews:
Celebrity, fashion and women lifestyle made by you, thats what SmakNews stands for. The site works in 3 simple ways: users are able to 1) submit a link to share from the web 2) write your own story or 3) ask a question from your community, then be able to track all the "smak talk" that goes on directly from your feed.
Chief Editor Gina Mom looks at SmakNews as a spot where women can "let their hair down." It is, she says, "a place of their own to have fun discussions about celebrity news, entertainment, fashion and beauty." But even though these will be the initial topics on SmakNews, users will be able to help steer the site in the direction they want and suggest - even demand - new topics of interest to them.
Sign up for smaknews.com (http://smaknews.com) and be sure to follow Smaknews (http://twitter.com/smaknews) on Twitter if you want to get to know us better. Gina Mom tweets out far more than just the latest links on the site; she shares any articles of interest she finds and interacts with our growing list of followers.
