If you get tired of jumping from site to site–and navigating differently in each place–to experience all that content, Radus aims to make things simple for you, by collecting it in one place. Radus is an exciting new Media Hub that brings together the best in content discovery and social networking, delivering a user experience unlike anything else. RADUS (pronounced “radius”)  gathers up text, video, audio that includes RSS feeds, videos, photos, and music. It’s mission is to “streamline content discovery and navigation, offering consumers quick and easy access to hundreds of mainstream and user generated news, sports, and entertainment channels from leading broadcasters, bloggers, directors, musicians, photographers, and more,” as described by the company

The site’s interface consists of a large media viewer on the left situated next to a smaller panel for browsing file types. Written content (like blog posts from RSS feeds) is displayed in a multi-column format that resembles a magazine article. Similarly, the media panel displays videos and images where appropriate. Unfortunately the sidebar isn’t very effective when it comes to searching for content, as it doesn’t leave enough space to describe a given video.
Another focus is ease of sharing; you’ll be able to create “playlists” of your favorite discoveries, no matter what kind of media they are, and send them to friends; and you’ll be able to follow other members (and be followed) a la Twitter. If you want to see what this platform is all about you can register for free and start browsing to your heart’s contents.
