Our Mission
Our mission is to help you become an influential player in how stories are created, shaped and shared.

We enable our contributors to build wikizines - interactive magazines that anyone can create or edit - with coverage of current events, cultural reference points, and niche areas of interest. We make it simple for people to compile the web's most relevant and dynamic content into easily-searched topics, so readers can find and react to the full story from multiple perspectives.

Our Vision
Our always-on, user-empowered digital culture is fundamentally changing the media industry. There is an ever-growing demand for people to become influential players in how stories are created, shaped and shared. Amateur and professional writers seek more active roles in how their stories develop. Readers want to dive deep into any topic, and find relevant and specific information from trusted and diverse sources. At the end of the day, everyone wants to add their voice and opinion to the conversation.

Zimbio allows anyone to become involved in any story, so entertainment, current events and news are delivered with context, opinion and multi-media. Our enabling technology and community culture allow stories to evolve and expand quickly by tapping into people's desire to leave their mark on a story.

Our Service - Where Stories Take Shape
Zimbio seamlessly blends the best of traditional media, participatory journalism, and proprietary technology. Stories and rich media from traditional news sources live along side blogs, commentary and opinion articles written or posted by readers' peers in a new media platform, the wikizine -- an interactive magazine that anyone can create or edit.

Zimbio contributors actively compile personal posts and the most salient and up-to-date content from across the web into a network of wikizines. Contributors can create new wikizines in minutes, shedding light on ideas and stories not well covered by traditional outlets. We satisfy a growing demand for readers to leave their mark on the story - by voting on the quality, adding comments, writing articles, adding opinions and interacting with others.

Zimbio's proprietary technology gives wikizines influence and impact. Our content matching technology automatically filters, classifies, and prioritizes contributions to help the story take shape and help users find relevant content. Active bloggers can syndicate their articles to Zimbio's global readership with only one-click; Zimbio grabs, classifies, and publishes fresh updates as they're written.
