[MGP-Forum Announce] Invitation to Join Beta Group for BuzzFlash.net

[J Fox]

Mark,
I registered on Wed and submitted a story.
I love the concept, but the site is hard to use:
 
-It's not obvious how to get to the screen where I can submit a new story.
-And, no matter how many stories I "buzz," it keeps telling me I need to
"buzz" 4 more before I can submit a second story.
Its user interface needs an overhaul.
I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to try to submit stories until the
interface is fixed.
 
Jeff

BuzzFlash.net


Please help BuzzFlash launch the beta version of its new site,
BuzzFlash.net. (http://www.buzzflash.net)

It's a progressive political news and commentary site that is completely
reader generated (although we are posting the first articles and
commentaries, but then we will vanish as readers take over.) 

You can post articles that you feel should be shared, and you can vote on or
"buzz" the articles that you think are the most important and should move to
the top of the list on the homepage. 

Be a part of BuzzFlash.net in Three Easy Steps: 

1) Click "register" in the upper left hand corner of the homepage. All you
need to do is enter a username and password. You will receive a confirmation
by e-mail. 

2) Once you receive your confirmation and are activated, you can "submit
new" stories by clicking "submit new" on the homepage and following the
instructions. There is a limit to the number of articles you can share at a
given time. 

3) You can "vote" or "buzz" stories to the front page which lists the most
recent and most popular links by "buzzing" the ones you like. But be
selective, or the value of your vote will decrease. 

That's it. Now, it's your turn to choose the top news stories 24 hours a day
on BuzzFlash.net!  Help publicize articles from your sites, newspapers and
magazines.

If you have a problem with any of these steps, e-mail web at buzzflash.net . 

Help us move from the beta version to a full launch by trying it out, and
letting us know of any glitches. 

Sincerely, 

Mark Karlin
