The idea behind this site is good and functional, and that is always good news: it puts together the most popular tags in the most popular tagging networks (Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us, Propeller, Newsvine, and StumbleUpon) so users can get a more global idea of what really is cool on the web, and not just a partial idea, because each one of these sites stresses some particular asset of internet’s content: Web 2.0, blogging, social networking, you name it. Once the best bookmarks are together in the same site, the statistics are set aside and human voting begins in order to figure out what the best/hottest/most interesting or useful sites in the web are. This means that users cannot submit content to Newznozzl.com directly, rather the site picks up the most popular sites in each one of the meta-data sites, and that’s how a site gets to show up in Newznozzl.com. Once a story is there, it is sorted into one of the several available categories and can be posted in any of the sites it takes from (provided that it is not there already), but it is also made into a wiki which users have to fill with meta-data themselves in order to create a higher level of significance and meaning to the internet.

“NewzNozzl takes the top stories from the best social news sites, combines them –and then lets you comment Vote for the stories that you think are the best. We ONLY load the high-rated stories from each site, so by the time it hits NewzNozzl you know it's worth looking at! Most of the social news sites are often thought of as "meta" sites - that is, they take in and amplify what other news sites have; Nozzl can be thought of a "Meta-Meta" site - we take what other meta news sites think are worthwhile and amplify just those stories.”

The fact that there is a system that keeps a watchful eye on the internet and gets the best right to your desktop is a great time saver, as you know that the content is worthwhile reading; and the fact that the site separates bookmarks into interest areas is also a good plus.

| Some questions | |||
|
|
|
It seems reasonable to wonder if there will ever be a stop to these kinds of sites, because we already have sites like Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us, Propeller, Newsvine and StumbleUpon that publish meta-data, and now we have Newznozzl.com, that displays meta-meta-data, and since Newznozzl.com has its competitors, it is quite clear that in some time we’ll assist to the birth of meta-meta-meta-data aggregators. Is the quest for the best internet sites really worth all this craze of data aggregators in third and fourth and fifth levels?
