FuzzSpot was a social networking platform that was heavily inspired by Tumblr and Twitter. It billed itself as "The frontage of the furry fandom", a reference to social network reddits slogan, a site which FuzzSpot drew large amounts of inspiration from.

The website has become completely inaccessible and no archives have been found for the time being.

The platform placed emphasis on art, memes, and archiving, serving the furry fandom in the same vein as mainstream websites.

Experimental features[edit]

The platform made use of some experimental technologies with the aim to create a safer environment for its users. The two most important of these technologies were:

Image recognition[edit]

Using an Image Recognition and Classifier program created in Tensorflow, the website was able to automatically flag and take down content. It was also able to recognize the rating of images ( not safe for work, safe for work ) and set the post rating accordingly.

Sentiment analysis[edit]

Sentiment analysis refers to the use of natural language processing and text analysis to systematically identify and classify the emotion held in a piece of text. FuzzSpot used this technology to remove spam and content that may have had a negative effect on its users, including hate speech and text that incites violence.

More of experimental technologies will be used while a new site is developed, once its published. The full list will be avaliable.
