It seems to me that it is much more difficult than it needs to be to find a solid entertainment or pop culture news site these days. I think people may have heard the adage before that, when it comes to digital media, "content is king." And that's definitely the case. Nothing drives online traffic to your website quite like a great copy - articles or blog posts that are well-written, thoughtful, unique, interesting, and, ideally, highly sharable - the more potential for something to go viral, the better. Especially when it comes to making sure that people are likely to notice your site out of the countless comparable sites out there.
This can be a rather difficult thing to do, though, and there is one big problem at the core of the "content is king" maxim. And that is the fact that, well, people seem to have extremely varying definitions of what it means to host quality content (not to mention what people think will be sharable versus what visitors will actually be interested in reading. The result of this discrepancy, of course, takes the form of an endless slush pile of "content" that is, for lack of a better term, little more than sensationalized clickbait. Find yourself a headline that stands out and, so the philosophy goes, you can more easily lure people into your site; thus, increasing click-through ad revenue.
It seems like a lot of the old-fashioned, informative pieces are being left behind in favor of overly sensationalized headlines and content that is either unimportant or difficult to read.
I won't lie - I have fallen prey to clickbait articles one too many times. I am all too familiar with that game. And it is always a little bit annoying - to find an article that seems to have so much potential online and then be rerouted to a site that has little of anything to offer in terms of quality. We have all been there. These links are traps. They are time-sucks. Nothing more, nothing less. And that's why, when it comes to entertainment and pop culture news sites, I care a great deal about providing you, dear reader, with honest and (I hope) interesting reviews. Your time is valuable, so I want to help make sure that you don't waste it on subpar film and TV news sites.
It can be hard to determine whether a site is going to be time-wasting or beneficial at first glance. Sometimes you can spend nearly an hour perusing a site before you realize that, sadly, you have been suckered into a fraudulent article once again. This is not acceptable in my opinion, so I try to provide high-quality content and dedicate much of it to helping you discern the sites that are worth your clicks and the sites that try to trap you with them (honk).
There are a few great sites that specialize in Hollywood-related news and movie reviews, but what options are available for fans of Bollywood? Unfortunately, there are not many good sites that focus on Bollywood news, and it's a shame because Bollywood is one of the most famous hubs of popular entertainment.
This site promises to be a dependable and regularly updated source of news pertaining to Indian movies, television, and pop culture. So, let's check it out and see if it lives up to its promises.
History
com) seems to suggest that it might have something to do with the entertainment industry.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find much historical information on Bestinforoom. All I was able to find were the most basic pieces of the puzzle. I have no clue who is responsible for this would-be authority on Bollywood news or what their motivations were, etc. All I know is that Bestinforoom launched on July 22nd, 2013 and the fact that it is owned by a digital media magnate known as Cloud Flare Inc (which is also responsible for sites like Medium, Canva, Instructure, Media Fire, and Chaturbate.com) seems to suggest that it might have something to do with the entertainment industry.
Despite its lack of an established history, Bestinforoom is currently one of the most popular sources of Bollywood news and reviews. Additionally, it is expanding its reach by creating new content sections. So in spite of its lack of detail, what Bestinforoom offers right now is more important than where it came from.
Design
Bestinforoom does not look terrible, but it does not look great either. It is one of those sites that is somewhere in between, in terms of its design. It works well enough, sure, and it does not make you want to immediately switch gears when you land on it, but it also doesn't look so good that you'll be rushing to your phone to tell your friends about it or anything like that. On the whole, the site is just okay. Exceedingly mediocre would be a more accurate term for its design.
At the top of the page, as expected, you will find a large thumbnail alongside the latest feature. Besides that, in four smaller squares, you have your trending stories. Scrolling down the page will reveal additional stories for your reading pleasure. A site menu bar is also at the top of the page to make browsing the site more convenient. Here you can choose between Home, News, Articles, Reviews, Celebs, Videos and Privacy Policy. Disappointingly, though, there is nothing interactive or experiential about the site. It just is what it is.
Content
So, is Bestinforoom populated with vapid clickbait, or does it contain thought-provoking op-eds, film reviews, and substantial, meaty content? Well, I suppose the answer to that question really hinges on what you find interesting. But if you want my honest critique? I would say that it is a bit of both. You do have some useful news articles on all the happenings in Bollywood, but these appear side by side with articles that are clearly meant to lure people in and purely generate clicks.
That being said, the nature of the clickbait on Bestinforoom is comparatively enticing. I may usually not easily be suckered into clicking on a sensationalized headline, I can usually tell the difference right away, but Bestinforoom did manage to get me with one of their more clickbaity headlines, which read ?10 Ways to Find Inspiration for New Ideas.? So although some of Bestinforoom?s content can be described as clickbait, hey, at least the clickbait is good, right?
Desktop and Mobile Experience
Bestinforoom has done a good job optimizing the site for smartphones and tablets. Actually, I might even like the mobile experience better. Scrolling down and down and down, one story at a time creates a more immersive experience, in my opinion.
Suggestions that I have for Bestinforoom
I would like to see Bestinforoom step it up in terms of the quality of content. Additionally, I think it would be beneficial for the site to hire more writers with good writing talent.
