About Us
What is HollywoodNews.com?
The Hollywoodnews.com is a place for people to discover and share content related to entertainment and Hollywood from anywhere on the Web . It is the pulse of new Hollywood. The one-stop shop for the best entertainment and Hollywood-related content on the Web as voted and defined by our users. We are about empowering the people in our website. We don't have editors, we have loyal visitors like you that discover the best of the Web and share it here for everyone to see. We are bringing Hollywood to the 21st century. We are the Pulse of New HollywoodTM.
We do this by empowering our community of users (like you) to share everything, from videos to news, images and podcasts. Once your post is submitted, our users will vote "like" or "dislike ." If your submission receives enough "likes ," it will be promoted to the homepage for all of our visitors to see.
And we even do more than this. We build a community around the stories that all of us submit. It is not only about discovery and sharing , but also about conversations around the content our users find relevant.
How Does HollywoodNews.com Work?
HollywoodNews.com is democratizing entertainment and Hollywood media. You will participate in the creation and display of all site content by finding, selecting, sharing, and discussing any form of content that appeals to you.
- Finding
-
Post. Find anything on the W eb (video, picture, news, podcast...) and submit it to HollywoodNews.com. The big POST NOW button is everywhere on our site to make it easy for you. Your submission will immediately appear in upcoming news where other members can find it and, if they like it, make their vote count.
Become popular. Once a submission becomes "popular" by having a certain number of "likes , " it moves to the " publish news " section and when the volume of " likes " really start increasing , it goes to the homepage in its category. If it becomes one of the most popular, it qualifies as a "Top 10" and goes to our homepage. If a submission doesn't receive enough "likes" within a certain time period, it eventually falls out of the "Upcoming" section.
Discover everything about Hollywood. By visiting the published and upcoming news section s , you will be able to see the latest content with buzz on the Web faster than anyone. We give you plenty of options to get to the kind of content you like: 1) you can use normal navigation features and go through our easy category menus, 2) you can use our site search functionality, 3) you can go into our tag cloud and see the most tagged content and 4) you can subscribe to RSS feeds that give you the latest up to the minute information about what you like.
