buzzupBuzzup.com is a website dedicated to the latest news relating to technology. Or as they describe their site “a one stop shop so you can find all the latest news and gossip from a number of different sites.” However, the twist that makes this site a little different is that all the content comes from the users. Each member submits content and each article is then voted on by all the members. Then the most popular pieces get displayed on the front page for all viewers to read and vote on.Similar to Digg, this website differs in the fact that you post on this website and its focus on technology. This is a great way for new writers to promote themselves, their websites, and other sites that they write for. If you are looking for the latest tech info, buzzup.com separates it into a few categories for you: deals on gadgets, finance, documents, VC funding, startups, and tech.

Overall this site has a few benefits for its users. However, it is dependent on the users to post information for free, vote on each submission, and therefore to provide the best information. It is theoretically a good idea, but the success of the website will rely on having quality users provide submissions to the site.
