About Feedzilla
Feedzilla is a news aggregator that allows webmasters and bloggers to add constantly updating news to their website and blog through the use of widgets and RSS feeds. In 2004, 2 European entrepreneurs decided to develop a simple website where readers could read news from various media sites all on the same website. It was then called Stepnewz.com. In 2005, a business angel joined the team and allowed stepnewz.com to become a company. Coldbrook Business Corp. Was founded. Stepnewz.com became Stepwebz.com. In 2006, the owners of Stepwebz.com decided to provide webmasters and bloggers with a way to add constantly updated content to their websites and blogs for a monthly fee starting at USD 9.95 per month. The name of the website became Feedzilla.com. About a year later, Feedzilla did not charge for it services any longer. Instead it provided news widgets for free. In 2009, a European VC invested money in the business in order to allow Feedzilla to expand its reach, especially in foreign countries. Today, under the inspiring leadership of Dimo the newsfeed dinosaur, Feedzilla has built a massive network of hosted news feeds. Feedzilla's content is available in seven languages from 16 countries. Feedzilla has 250,000 newsfeed sources organized in over 2,000 pre-defined news categories.
