In 2014, Johan Peretti, founder and owner of Buzzfeed, revolutionized the way posts were shared and the company’s popularity grew tremendously. The site now registers more than 6 billion monthly visitors globally. With five mobile apps and content in six different languages, Buzzfeed publishes on more than 30 social platforms around the globe.

#1 There is something for everyone

With 32 different categories to choose from, there is always something every reader can enjoy. The variety of content allows the company to appeal to a wide range of audiences without age restriction.

#2 Easy layout

The majority of articles are presented in lists, with large colorful headings and images or GIFs that appeal to the audience. The layout of the articles does not require too much concentration, therefore it attracts people’s attention during moments of relaxation, like lunch break.

#3 Quizzes

Buzzfeed’s website has a category dedicated only to quizzes. Like the company’s theme, there is always a huge variety of topics to choose between: books, songs, TV series, old cartoons, movies, and the biggest of all: personality quizzes. This section is highly recommended when you are bored or want to waste some time.

#4 It is not only about fun facts

People mainly know Buzzfeed for its fun articles, but the company is highly active in reporting breaking news too. The news section informs followers on alerts, politics, the environment, and world facts.

#5 Newsletters

Sometimes it is hard to navigate Buzzfeed’s network and find exactly what you are looking for. For this reason, signing up for weekly newsletters can facilitate keeping up with one or more topic without missing any news.

#6 Animal section

Sometimes all you need is a funny article about adorable animals, and whether it is about puppies or kitties, it will give you a break during a stressful day. Pet memes and GIFs will give you a laugh even on the worst days.

#7 DIY you did not know you needed

Much like a blog, the DIY (Do It Yourself) section includes inexpensive ideas to give a house a new look, gift ideas and random lists of objects that the reader will definitely want to buy at the end of the article.

#8 Food articles

Recipes, reviews and healthy advice on diets can all be found in this section. Due to its internationality, the writers create collaborations between different countries to collect funny reactions of French people trying American champagne or Americans eating Japan’s craziest snacks.

#9 Their videos

Buzzfeed videos are something simultaneously fascinating and odd, and once noticed, they demand to be watched. Thinking outside the box is the unique characteristic that makes Buzzfeed stand out.

#10 Reaction tags

Buzzfeed had a brilliant idea to ask for reactions; a question at the end of the article that gives several possibilities to choose from like LOL, OMG, YAAASS, CUTE and FAIL. With the answers results, the articles are divided in reaction sections to help readers easily find what they are looking for.

#11 No filter

Buzzfeed has no problem publishing articles with controversial content and people love it. The company always acts on social issues and gives voice to readers opinions.

#12 Its internationality

With ten international editions including UK, Germany, France, Spain, India, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Japan, Buzzfeed uses collaborations between workers from different countries to break cultural barriers and prejudices.

#13 It is a community

People who are not Buzzfeed employers can share their stories too, publish their own reviews and became part of the community by expressing their ideas. Many articles are original and fascinating because the company’s staff is large, always experimenting, and evolving.
