About
BuzzFeed is the leading independent digital media and tech company delivering news and entertainment content to a global audience. BuzzFeed covers breaking news, produces original video, and creates content that people want to share on the web. We have offices in 18 cities around the world and more.
BuzzFeed took its first steps into commerce by focusing on relatable gift guides like “19 gifts only science geeks will fully appreciate,” and a few weeks ago, it started a new section called BuzzFeed Reviews, a consumer product reviews page not dissimilar to Wirecutter or Reviewed, with product reviews in categories including tech, beauty and lifestyle.
Unlike most of BuzzFeed’s consumer brands, Reviews is based on search rather than social distribution. Other BuzzFeed brands, including Nifty, Tasty, As/Is and others will distribute Reviews content to build brand awareness. That means BuzzFeed Reviews will live on BuzzFeed’s main domain for the foreseeable future, but it could potentially wind up living under a separate domain name, a BuzzFeed spokesperson said.
IS IT ANY GOOD?
BuzzFeed posts cover the gamut from thought-provoking social injustice issues to funny yet not really educational GIF-based lists. Celebrity news items pop up fairly frequently, and popular posts are marked with labels such as "omg" and "cute." It’s easy to get sucked into reading more than you'd planned; content suggestions appear below and beside posts, and you can choose from more than two dozen topics. You'll need to search for keywords to find precise reading selections; finding posts on health, for example, is simple -- but locating ones on seasonal allergies isn't as easy because posts don't have highly specific tags.
Finding content really isn't a huge issue on BuzzFeed. But the type of content may be of concern to many parents, since the site doesn't seem to have a lot of restrictions. Some posts contain swearing, nudity, and violent images -- a bevy of things parents likely wouldn't want younger users (or some older teens) to see. Viewing the site together may help parents keep kids from clicking posts meant for an older audience.
