Speshy.com - The Things We Live For

Speshy.com is an advertising-supported online information community. It aggregates existing web content with content generated by people like you. Speshy provides community-vetted news and information about the things of interest to most people - 90% of the things that 90% of the people are interested in 90% of the time. Finding something on the net when you don't know exactly what you are looking for is a real pain, especially if you are looking for information that you want to be able to trust. Or be entertaining, or useful. In general, it is pretty crazy out there and finding the 'good stuff' takes dedication. Speshy addresses these needs by focusing on providing direct support for optimizing common tasks ordinary people perform on the net - specifically lifestyle-related activities. From shopping to sports to raising a family, Speshy's has news, information, buyers’ guides, rankings, experience reports, and more.

 
  In their own words  

“Take back the internet. Find and enjoy those special somethings selected from the infinite chaos of our modern world by the people, for the people.”

  Why it might be a killer  

Speshy sits between Google and Amazon and uses the proven approaches to dispensing information popularized by Wikipedia and Yahoo who’s to support consumers before and after the sale. This is like Yahoo and Google directories, but each category has a live news page, and has not just a random list of websites but ranked lists of many different things, reviews and products and more, all relevant to the category. And finally, everything is chosen and ranked by ordinary people, not by them, so people do not have to wait until 'they get around to updating it'. It’s like Wikipedia, but about topics that interest most people, which traditionally hasn't been found an encyclopedias. Speshy is a consensus-driven 'Wikipedia' that is 'happening', with a 'live news' front end. It is also like Amazon, and as an Amazon store they happily use Amazon for what Amazon does best.

  Some questions  

How will the site advertise itself? Will they improve the design of the site?
