Web-Publishing
challenges the publisher gatekeeper model..
VillageMall
provides a complete online content publishing, and syndication solution.
Brisbane, Australia,- February 2004 - VillageMall®, the
premier provider of Web-based applications, launched
its Web-Publisher Solution. Just
as MP3 technology pulled the rug out from under the iron-fisted
recording industry -- putting the power of digital music
distribution in the hands of consumers and artists -- Web
self-publishing with inbuilt subscription or pay-per-view
management technology is poised to push old-school publishing
giants aside.
Under the current publishing model,
publishers serve as gatekeepers who have the infrastructure in
place to determine what information will be available to
consumers. However, digital distribution is dramatically changing
that cost limitation and opening the door for new authors, content
formats, and self-publishing. This is especially true of
professional Newsletters, Journals and Magazines which have high
value content with limited life-time.
Put the
decision in the hands of the consumer, with industry
standard content syndication which delivers content to the
consumers desktop.
Web-publisher uses a combination of the traditional
Publisher processes, peer and user reviews, to give the browsing
customer information to make a decision.
Gain
greater efficiency – by fully leverage digital
processes for managing content from creation to delivery and
distribution and by integrating all processes, thus making every
step along the way much faster and more efficient.
Create interactive content,
inbuilt ratings and feedback, helps target material to meet your
readership requirements. The days of static content is very
limited, consumers expect content to match their expectation or
needs, or they simply move on. Additionally authors get instant
feedback on their articles, enabling them to better target the
material to the actual readership, a win-win for all involved.
Web Publisher improves business
processes, resulting in faster and more efficient production.
Newsletters, Articles cost less and get out the door more quickly;
our inbuilt
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) service distributes content,
directly to subscribers, overcoming all SPAM or email rejection
problems. Newspapers have used specialist wire-services to filter
and deliver time-sensitive information to journalists for many
years. The Internet is full of information, but who has the time
to find it, syndication allows consumers to control what
information is delivered to their desktop. Web-Publisher provides
the subscription, or pay-per-view infrastructure to make
electronic publishing a successful business proposition.
"The entry costs associated with on-line publishing has been a
barrier to many professionals, until the introduction of
VillageMall Web-Publisher. We created our Web-Publishing
Solution, with the vision to enable professionals with high-value
knowledge, to combine that knowledge with our technologies to
deliver the a valued result directly to the widest possible
consumer.
VillageMall's subscription price of $60 per month includes
everything a business needs to publish online, and syndicate their
content directly to partners, or consumers.
We provide the
one-stop-shop web-publishing solution, accessible securely over the
Internet with nothing to
download, enabling anytime, anywhere access." commented Charles Moore, founder of VillageMall.More
