Thanks to the team over at Regator for the heads up on their new site design (relaunch?) a couple of weeks ago.

For those of you who don’t recall Regator, we did a story on them back in August as Australian Scott Lockhart is co founder and one of an increasing number of Aussies making their mark in the States.

Regator is an RSS aggregator and filter for blog posts, the blogs used in the feeds are chosen by the Regator team to ensure quality with a social ‘Digg’ like voting system for the masses. The concept behind the site has not changed and they seem to be gaining ground in the social media space recently having made it past the primaries in Mashables Openweb awards and are up against the likes of Digg, so if you feel like supporting an Aussie contender head over to their site and vote.

The full low down on the redesign of their site can be found on their blog and includes things like:

• A simplified, cleaner design

• Thumbnails accompanying posts that feature images

• More noticeable links to encourage users to play and watch embedded audio and video

• Visual tweaks to make browsing the hierarchy more intuitive

They have also made some improvements to the non visual elements of their site including an overhaul of their SEO and improving their search algorithms that should “increase search accuracy and speed”

Great to see the guys hard at work and making some headway in this competitive market, and also for using that most valuable driver of any start up ‘customer feedback’ to improve and iterate on their service.

We wish you continued success in your endeavours guys, and hope to hear more of the Regator story in the future.
