If you've read my bio, you might wonder what a product guy wants to do at a publishing company. I've already mentioned the reasons for why I am excited in this opportunity on my personal blog, but I thought it would be good to list them here as well - just for the record. There are three main reasons. For starters, Corante is not your typical publishing company. Instead of hiring writers and publishing content, we connect readers with experts. And in this day and age of scarce reader attention span and information overload, that is exactly what people are looking for. Second, Corante is in the midst of the web 2.0 wave. And while some of the things we are working on are... 11427@http://corante.corante.com/ Announcements 2005-07-30T17:00:12-05:00 http://corante.corante.com/archives/2004/11/09/operating_manual_for_social_tools_omst.php Another innovative new approach to custom publishing that's just launched, through which Corante will be producing a sponsored blog around a key pillar of the marketing strategy for a company called Zero Degrees. The blog, led by our very own Stowe Boyd and published for a specific period of time, has three leading thinkers in social software - Stowe, danah boyd, and David Weinberger - discussing issues surrounding the use and utility of technologies such as social networking applications and other collaboration / communication / community tools that are increasingly social in nature. This is not fluff but rather a meaty and critical look at the world we're all playing in and a bold and forward-looking new approach to marketing that's being pioneered by Zero Degrees. (Looked at another way, this project could be seen as the direct online descendant of early print publishing ventures, where lengthy treatises were produced... 11352@http://corante.corante.com/ Announcements 2004-11-09T08:38:30-05:00 http://corante.corante.com/archives/2004/11/05/corante_partners_with_cnet.php In what a first-of-its-kind partnership between a blog media company and a major media company, we're thrilled to announce the unveiling of a collaboration between Corante and CNET. The relationship has Corante producing and managing subject-specific blogs for the expanding blog section of ZDNet, home to CNET's enterprise-focused news coverage.... 11350@http://corante.corante.com/ Front Page 2004-11-05T15:39:01-05:00 http://corante.corante.com/archives/2004/11/03/redesign_rollout.php As you've likely noticed we've been rolling out our new redesign and features across Corante in recent weeks. The new interface is, we think, much cleaner and more legible as well as provides our readers with a lot of new tools to keep on top of what our contributors have to say as well as to add to and expand the conversation. Among the new features to look for: category RSS feeds, new comment and trackback features, more accessible archives and more. The redesign, example of which here: http://www.corante.com/copyfight/ or here: http://www.corante.com/pipeline/, aims to: provide a much attractive and more legible interface provide consistent navigation throughout site leverage a lot more of the MT-based features and tools that we hope will make for a better reading and tracking experience new features include: category-specific xml feeds xml feeds of comments different cuts at archive pages, e.g.: example or new sidebar "modules"... 11349@http://corante.corante.com/ Announcements 2004-11-03T20:49:31-05:00 http://corante.corante.com/archives/2004/11/03/corante_announces_the_launch_of_true_voice.php As this press release explains, we're launching a multi-city seminar series called "True Voice: The Business of Blogging." The series, to be sponsored by Silkroad technology and designed and produced by me (Stowe), Greg Narain and Suw Charman, will have us running a comprehensive one-day event that will examine the business, political and societal implications of social media and the impact of this burgeoning communication medium on the future media and business landscape. So some big picture stuff, but also very much an exercise in discussing and imparting lots of practical and pragmatic advice on the nuts and bolts of blogging with a program that will include interviews, case studies and a whole lot of interactivity and ongoing dialogue. More at the press release as well as stay tuned for a related blog that'll go live in the next month or two... 11348@http://corante.corante.com/ Announcements 2004-11-03T19:50:21-05:00
