Can you make a business (model) out of a technology? RSS, blogs, wikis, niche publishing, contextual linking, desktop search, visualization—there’s no shortage of new technologies and ways to create, publish, and distribute content. Some are “off the grid,” individualized ventures, and others have broken away from the traditional content value chain. Are any of these new schemes driven by profit motives? Are any making money? Hear from several businesses which are applying new technologies in such a way that they leverage technology to create content or add value—and make money. Listen and learn from the hopes and dreams and strategies for success as expressed by these new content industry innovators.
