Balatarin, which means the highest in Persian, is a community website that helps its users to find the best content on the web. The underlying idea is similar to digg and reddit. The submitted links to articles are voted on. The submissions with more votes get more prominence on the website. The topics discussed on Balatarin range from social issues and human rights to entertainment and sports. In 2008, Balatarin was selected as the best Persian social website of the year.
