Nashville, TN (PRWEB) May 22, 2006
The company developed an RSS based publishing system that knits together various content types. It started with http://www.NashvilleSnews.net and now has 12 fully working news and blog aggregation systems. An overview of the network can be seen on the main site. http://chronicnews.com/sites_view
John Bransford, a company spokesman, says part of our approach to unbundled media is manifest in Tipit. We think content has to be compensated and its in everyones interest to create multiple pathways to that end. Tipit is a simple concept thats yet to be properly engaged. To get a fast overview see the demo on the Tipit site.
Its different from the standard Pay Pal tip jar. TipIt is not bound to a website and allows an unlimited number of content owners to be aggregated on a site but paid directly. The usual tip jar forces all payment to the website which is not feasible in a world where the writer doesnt know and doesnt want to deal with tracking every site that might subscribe to his feed. The TipIt, when enabled by the writer, can stay with the content wherever it is fed using RSS 2.0.
This post explains it. http://pontiff.wordpress.com/2006/05/18/unbundled-content-for-real/
Bransford says that next iteration was enabling all the bloggers to administer their RSS feeds. We got it working last week. Now the writers can login and add a logo, change the way the feed is formatted, add descriptions and more. The idea is that the bloggers have realized that RSS/ATOM formatting is important and need to feel comfortable with the presentation. They can always ask us to change something but if we arent fast enough they can do it themselves.
Our guiding principle is that these bloggers need to be paid in order to sustain the ecosystem of great content on the web. Were providing them all the tools we can to make that happen. Its where the blogosphere has been going but presently its available to relatively few bloggers.
Later this month they will unveil a system providing the option to inject text ads. When the reader clicks on the read more link they find the full article or landing page with as much content as the blogger wants them to have. The landing page may at their option have some text ads and be paid per click or per view. All this is administrated by their Web interface which will be unveiling on Wednesday.
