Web Hosting and Home Brewing Blogs

Home Brewing Blogs

The World Wide Web is an immense repository of information. It is estimated to include more than 100 billion pages publicly accessible online and searching through them can be an enormous task. There are a variety of new sites which claim they can assist users in sorting through all this web clutter and finding gems more quickly; most notably social news websites similar to Digg or Delicious where users rate web sites using toolbars and can then “stumble upon” similar ones as others give positive ratings based on shared interests, thus increasing popularity measures by the number of “thumbs-ups”.

One such site we helped launch recently is BrewPoll, a news site dedicated to beer and home brewing news that we were instrumental in setting up. Votes determine its ranking system and currently it boasts over 170 stories! BrewPoll provides a great resource for staying abreast of all of the latest happenings within these industries and is always an invaluable source of news on what’s trending!

BrewWiki provides another useful source of information. Utilizing the same underlying software as Wikipedia, but focused specifically on homebrewing, with over 1,000 user submitted pages of user submitted content. Portals cover major topics related to beer and home brewing that lead to hundreds of articles with links out to external resources as well as club listings and supplier directories.
