Notes from a Chicago entrepreneur and investor.

BuzzTracker Design

Many of our BuzzTracker readers have commented on the design� of theBuzzTracker
site — and we hear your feedback!� From the time of launch, we realized that we would need to do a redesign shortly but we wanted to get the service out there, being used etc.

We have begun the process of redesigning the site;� both with some short term tweaks as well as a longer term re-haul.

Some of the ideas we are kicking around for the revised design include:

1)� A revised home page that shows all BuzzTracker categories, with emphasis on new and hot categories

2)� A “cleaner” representation of mostblogged and latest news

3)� A better way for the non-web2.0 audience to understand the site — we want the site to pass “the Mom” test — does your Mom understand it when she looks at it?

4)� More prominent ways for people to get involved — giving feedback, comments, taking BuzzTracker content for their own site via magnets, and the ability to suggest a topic

What do you think we should do?� What would you do differently?� What would you like to see?� How can we get you more excited about the site?

  • 1. Your bee looks like a sick wasp!
    2. Could you include a way to request information on a certain topic to be covered Ex; Chicago real estate market-
    a live or crashing?
    3.Your layout is alittle busy to the eye.
    4.Good concept needs a little polishing-
    keep up the good work

    Cool site, couple of thoughts. It would be nice to have an easier way to see all of the categories. Also, it would be good to be able to submit categories to be added.
