| Description | RSS News Aggregator |
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.
Feedzilla is now opening between 2 and 5 local sites per month.
