Nooz.com - Myspace Meets Digg

Nooz pretty much combines Digg and Myspace. It’s a news service curated by Myspace users. Thus it consists of news for Myspaces, by Myspacers. The news community is free to select any news, or nooz that they want to add to the page. It can be an article, blog, or Myspace profile that perks their interest. Basically, it’s like most Digg clones. Nooz users can put a Nooz ticker on their profile so that the newest items show up there. Additionally, they can opt for the box which shows static headlines. Nooz stories can of course be voted on and comments can be added. Categories are presented on the right side and range from celeb gossip and music, to tech and random.

“NooZ – a community edited news site for MySpace. NooZ users (NooZrs) edit the NooZ.com front page and categories by submitting and voting for your favorite web pages and articles. As the first user-rated news site for MySpace we do some cool new things:

NooZ integrates directly with MySpace. All you need is a MySpace profile and NooZ does the rest. We get your photo, your display name, and automatically connect you to your friends. (Because of this, you must have a MySpace profile to use NooZ.)”

Myspace is a huge market. Nooz gives Myspacers another venue for interaction. It has got plenty of 2.0 attributes, including the rounded fonts and blue/green color scheme. It’s well made and has a familiar setup.

I’m not sure what Nooz adds for the Myspace community. It’s a Digg copy, and there are already plenty of those. The site hasn’t branched out much to extend itself to Myspace users.
