The homepage of Buzzfeed contains time-sequential list of all users and staff. The posts can either have a link, photos or videos. The posts are designed to capture viral media that resonate the web today. Every Friday, Buzzfeed sponsors a battle where users can post their best Flash game. Other users post compendiums of images that are similar to each other. Sometimes, Buzzfeed also feature quizzes.
Once registered, a user is provided a homepage where the links to their most recent contributions can be accessed. The homepage also features a section for the user’s brief biography and a counter that contains the number of times the posts have been featured on the Buzzfeed homepage.
For a continuing business development, Buzzfeed has set up the Buzzfeed Labs as an ongoing effort for the editors to keep track, test and at times create viral media. Among the past accomplishments of Buzzfeed Labs includes citizen journalism where a local resident investigated a fire that hit Manhattan Bridge, an attempt to break a bottle of beer in half so that it can be used as a shiv in a bar fight, and a giant energy malt drink created using forty ounces of beer and a can of Red Bull. The Labs conduct sporadic but spontaneous projects and the schedules of release are not set.
Posts at Buzzfeed are sorted and categorized using badges. The badges function like tags, such as “OMG,” “WIN,” “LOL,” “Old,” and “GEEKY.” Users receive the badges as merit. If a certain number of users feel the same way, the badge is tacked on the side of the thumbnail image as an alert to other users.
