BUUUZ is the first social web service to connect users with similar interests rather than existing friendships. Members create virtual “islands” based on subjects of interest and BUUUZ delivers relevant messages from selected RSS feeds and the BUUUZ community chatter to offer users the news that matters most to them.

Members can create an “island” for a topic by picking a few keywords that best describe an interest they have. For instance, the Super Bowl is right around the corner and if you are a Pittsburgh Steelers or an Arizona Cardinals fan you can use your team as an island keyword to be alerted about the stories and discussions mentioning them.

Community discussion is facilitated through “message bottles” where questions can be asked and comments made around any topic. Other members who have matching interests then receive the color-coded message bottles and have the ability to respond to the community. Yellow bottles come from RSS feeds, green bottles contain public messages and red bottles are private notes passed between two users.

In less than a minute, BUUUZ members can utilize the sleek and fun interface to join a community that encourages communication and conversation. BUUUZ’s unique approach to social networking links like-minded individuals and provides a secure platform to share stories, anecdotes and expertise.

“There are 6 billion people on this planet and many of those people share interests and hobbies,” said Alain Villenave, CEO of BUUUZ. “Up until this point, social networking has allowed us to communicate with or friends and keep in touch but the experience can become stale. BUUUZ brings new communities of people together safely to share unique information, knowledge and experiences without the pressure of advertising or worrying about privacy.”

BUUUZ offers a place for members to receive news updates from RSS feeds and targeted messages from people with similar interests around topics specifically designated by each user. Member information is secure and profiles are private.

BUUUZ’s unique approach to social networking automatically initiates communication with others who share common values, hobbies or interests. BUUUZ uses simple navigation to create a pleasant discovery environment where you can share experiences and knowledge or pose questions to the entire community. The automated system connects users with others who have matching interests and then allows communication via message bottles.
