(NaturalNews) Thank you to all the NaturalNews readers who have participated in our on-site surveys and feedback forms over the last several weeks. We've been gathering feedback and listening carefully to what readers wanted, and now we're rolling out the features you asked for.
What follows is an overview of the features and content we've recently introduced to the NaturalNews website.
More reviews of natural health productsIn our surveys, you told us you wanted more reviews and recommendations of natural health products. Previously, we had only been reviewing two or three products a month, but now we've introduced our "Breaking Product News" section that brings you five short product reviews each week.
So far, I've reviewed over twelve products, and you can see those reviews here: http://www.naturalnews.com/PulsePro...
For each product review, I cover the pros and cons of the product, and I give you the website address where you can find the product. I openly disclose any affiliate relationship (if any) NaturalNews might have with the product retailer or its manufacturer, so that you know exactly where we stand on each recommendation.
You'll also find these short product reviews headlined near the top of each article and breaking news item. My aim is to post one new product review each weekday, bringing you about twenty new product reviews and recommendations each month.
Also based on your feedback, we're currently working on a new product directory guide that will feature the industry's top anti-cancer products. This guide will be available in early January, and I'll keep you posted on its availability.
More clarity of news sourcesOne of the most common suggestions we received asked us to differentiate between the stories of in-house authors vs. contributing writers (citizen journalists). In response to that suggestion, we created two sections on the home page, placing the in-house news reports at the top half of the page, and the Citizen Journalism stories in the bottom half.
This still gives you full access to all the stories while allowing you to visually discern the source of the news (in-house vs. contributed).
Please note that I don't personally always agree with the stories posted by Citizen Journalists. I only post them because I believe they offer valuable commentary on an important subject that should be open to more than one view. Although I would never post a story that suggested something ludicrous like supporting mandatory vaccination policies for teens, I do believe there are equally valid perspectives on many health issues, even if they differ from my own views.
Elimination of photos for many articlesAlthough we've been using pictures on our articles for several years, we've decided to stop sourcing photos for most of the articles from now on. Why? Because the photo searching and integration process was slowing the posting of the news, causing several articles to be out of date by the time they were posted.
So in order to move more quickly on the news, we've let go of the most of the photos, resorting to a text-only layout. Although you'll still see photos on articles from time to time, most will be text only.
One of the most surprising suggestions we kept hearing from readers involved the integration of social network features. In case you're new to social networking, it's a layer of interpersonal online networking that's sweeping the 'net. Through sites like MySpace, Facebook and many others, users can connect with friends, share articles and photos, invite friends to view their websites, distribute announcements and much more.
