Topix.net has a new look — cleaner, brighter, a little Yahoo News-like — and new features aimed at encouraging interactivity. SiliconBeat calls it “a pretty significant shift for CEO Rich Skrenta and his team because it moves Topix from a one-way, news consumption site to a two-way, interactive platform.” The company sees the current interest in user participation as an opportunity.
Topix is majority owned by Gannett, Knight Ridder and Tribune; the 75-percent stake acquired last March is estimated to have run about $50 million.
