txt: WordPress.com and Windows Live partnering together and providing an upgrade for 30 million Windows Live Spaces customers

 

As we looked at customers’ blogging needs and what different companies were providing, we were particularly interested in what WordPress.com is doing. They have a host of impressive capabilities – from a scalable platform and leading spam protection, to great personalization and customization. WordPress powers over 8.5% of the web, is used on over 26 million sites, and WordPress.com is seen by over 250 million people every month. Not only that, Automattic is a company filled with great people focused on improving blogging experiences. So rather than having Windows Live invest in a competing blogging service, we decided the best thing we could do for our customers was to give them a great blogging solution through WordPress.com.

A modern media company is rooted in the fact that we rely on our friends and influencers to point us to media that’s worth our time. Only the richest experiences win. A modern media company connects paid and earned media via an integrated brand-marketing platform that yields meaningful and measurable returns. It’s the only accountable way to engage social consumers at scale. A modern media company syndicates absorbing content across digital and mobile environments, lighting the way for brands and creators. The result is attention, and the reach is 330 million people a month. SAY Media is a modern media company.

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:39:48 -0700 Good bloggers work like dogs http://oddtag.posterous.com/good-bloggers-work-like-dogs http://oddtag.posterous.com/good-bloggers-work-like-dogs [txt] Bloggers want my steak baguette - Michael Parsons on timesonline.com
If you've got a friend who thinks they can make money with their blog, get them to read this piece. Like all people who rise to the top of their profession, it demonstrates a simple truth: good bloggers work like dogs. You can't expect readers to show up unless you show up. And the internet never closes. So Arrington is at his desk in his house about ten minutes after he wakes up. Then he writes all day. Then he goes out to Silicon Valley parties to schmooze. Then he comes home and does it all again the following day. He reckons he has worked every day for the last two years on his blog. Every successful blogger I've come across is the same. Eat, sleep and drink the work. No time out, no holidays – in Arrington's case, 16 hours a day, seven days a week.
