Buzz Out Loud Wiki

Buzzlinks are easy-to-type, easy-to-remember hyperlinks to Buzz Town content dispersed around the Web. Each buzzlink begins with a short keyword and ends with ".buzztown.org". For example, the FAQ for live shows is buzzlinked to "http://faq.buzztown.org", which redirects to "http://buzzoutloud.wikia.com/wiki/WatchBOL_FAQ". See the #List of active buzzlinks below.

Requests[]

Use the talk/discussion page to request a change or addition. The table below shows where each active buzzlink currently redirects, so please do not edit it except to correct mistakes. Feld is responsible for buzzlink maintenance.

Limitations[]

No more than 90 buzzlinks may be active at any given time, so per-episode or per-user buzzlinks are not currently practical. Instead, all episode pages are accessible from the guide or episodes buzzlinks, and listener pages are accessible through the nicks or fans buzzlinks.

Buzzlinks can take slightly longer to load than direct links because they first hit a redirect server, which also doubles the normal risk of connection failure. Buzzlinks work well for chats, bookmarks, and typing into browser location bars; but for links embedded in permanent Web pages, it's better to use the full URIs listed here.

Defaults[]

The http://buzztown.org and http://www.buzztown.org domains currently redirect here (http://buzzoutloud.wikia.com/wiki/Buzzlink).
