What's It About?

BUZZNET combines various media -- writing, photography, video and music -- into one central hipster hub. There are music videos to watch, artist pictures to view, and editorial content about everything from band profiles to reviews of the latest electronic gear. Buzznet also offers users the chance to submit their own creative projects, which might present the perfect opportunity for young artists.

Is It Any Good?

Combine the best and worst of the teen years and you get a good idea of Buzznet. At its worst it's snarky, disorganized, and too cool for school. At its best it's creative, bursting with youthful energy, and original. Buzznet's user-submitted content and editorial blogs can be hit or miss, but are usually entertaining. And if you are looking to discover the next big thing in music, Buzznet won't let you down. Because the content can veer toward dark and mature themes, the site is better for older teens.
