ok i'm so lazy i'm just going to nick this whole press release.
Regator aims to make it fun and easy to find the best blog content from nearly 500 topics, no matter how tech savvy you are—or aren’t. Regator combines editorial selectivity, semantic algorithms, and user input to create a powerful, yet simple experience aimed at getting mainstream web users exposed to great blogs. Unlike many existing blog aggregators, Regator has a distinctive Ajax-based interface that improves usability and speed.
What’s Regator?
A website that finds the best blogs on the web and categorizes them to make it easy to find what you need—and fun to find things you never knew you wanted.
Aren’t there already a million blog directories?
No, not a million, but quite a few.
How is Regator different?
Its blogs are hand-selected by real human beings, who choose them based on their good writing, original content, frequent updates, and relevance. But Regator’s editors don’t handle everything (there’s only so much caffeine a person can take). Our users’ actions create top rated, most viewed, and most commented pages. And complex algorithms create the aptly titled What’s Hot List, which keeps you up to date on what the blogosphere’s writing about at any moment.
That sounds complicated. Is it?
Regator is easy enough for your mum to use (nothing against your mum—we’re sure she’s really smart).
If my mum could use it, doesn’t that mean it’s too basic for the tech-savvy youngsters?
Definitely not. Regator is as advanced as you want it to be. Your mum (who we’ll stop talking about now) can show up and start browsing blog posts about her favorite topics within seconds. You, on the other hand, might upload your blog subscriptions to use it as a feed reader, create audio playlists, organize your favorite posts and blogs, watch videos, check out the What’s Hot list to see what’s popular right now, or share posts with your friends on Twitter, Facebook, or email. Go crazy.
Who’s behind Regator?
There are three humans and one very charming gator behind the site. Co-founders Scott Lockhart, CEO; Chris Turner, CTO; and Kimberly Turner, editorial director. They live in Atlanta, Georgia.
Who does what?
Scott is our business expert. Chris works magic with programming. Kimberly is the resident blog rejecter/accepter, writer, and editor.
Regator looks fairly slick. Which corporate behemoth funded it?
Regator is—so far—entirely self-funded. Every penny has come from its three founders and even Reg, our adorable mascot, was drawn in-house.
Why is Regator necessary?
Because there were too many blog directories trying to focus on quantity, technology, and newsfeeds, and none giving a mainstream audience a solid set of tools to find quality blog posts about things that interest them.
Why is it called Regator anyway?
Because it’s a blog aggREGATOR. Clever, huh?
scott, chris and kimberly are super-awesome friends of ours and have been working their collective asses off on this project for what seems like forever (we miss them!) but it seems to be well worth the effort. check out regator today!
