[March 26, 2007] Leading Social Entertainment Media Site Introduces Distributed Forum Feature Tweet CAMBRIDGE, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- Top10 Sources, a leading social media site for entertainment news and gossip, today introduced a new, easy-to-use distributed forum feature for bloggers. This feature is an embedded tool that fosters community and conversation by allowing users of multiple web sites and blogs to simultaneously participate in shared discussions. With a single keystroke, this free and flexible tool allows users to take part in Top10 Sources discussions from their personal homepage, blog or web site. With roughly 175,000 new weblogs created each day, there is a demand for a simpler, more convenient way to engage in discussions with like-minded people. The Top10 Sources distributed commentary feature brings together blogging communities, creating a critical mass of users and facilitating lively conversations. Now, participants can harness the power of online social networks to express their passions and easily build communities around the topics that matter the most to them. Bloggers can either embed a single discussion thread into a blog post, or pick up a "slimline" forum that shows all of the conversations occurring around a given topic. "With this next generation forum tool, we are giving bloggers, site creators and users an easier and more instantaneous way to link to other online communities and share their view of the world," said Ashton Peery CEO of Top10 Sources. "Users love the distributed forum because it is easier to set up and integrate than traditional forums." Top10 Sources allows readers to quickly and easily share and discuss the best entertainment content on the web - from blogs to podcasts to videos. For example, two bloggers already actively using this feature to drive discussion and participation are the American Idol sites Idol Review (http://www.idolreview.net/forum/) and ItsOnMyTv (http://www.itsonmytv.com/archives/tv-shows/american-idol/).
