Our New Sites - Check 'em Out!

I'm excited to announce our new sites: Pictojam and the re-born Homes & Hues.

Picto is focused on science, engineering, and tech stories (with a lot of fun stuff sprinkled in). H&H is geared towards home design and decor as well as the stuff you'd need for your house like home electronics and kitchen gadgets. These two are the first in a series of new niche content sites we'll be launching.

The Picto sites are built on a new platform, so things work a bit differently there (helloooo infinite scroll!) I hope you like the short video clip thumbnails on the grid - that's one of my favorite things about the new sites.

We'll continue to build the platform's capabilities as we fill the sites with new stories for you to read. In the meantime, I'd appreciate it if you'd tell your friends about Pictojam and Homes & Hues :)


awesome! many year fan here (10? more?) I had a first impression, take it with a grain of salt, on Pictojam. 1) loved that the favicon looks the same 2) I thought it was all ads and waited for the content to load. Then I saw that it Was the content, which is great. Maybe the caption font is the same as the bottom ads in news websites?anyways, now that I figured it out, I'm all set and it's great!

Hello, also a long time fan here from the mental_floss days.1) Is this replacing neatorama?2) Similar to the comment above, my immediate impression was that this site was all ads. The format, perhaps particularly the square grid thumbnails, resemble the way ads are displayed on pages like neatorama and many other sites. Often the clickbait articles appear at the bottom of the page like below the article and look very similar. Relaying this again as a fan and supporter
