New Site for Custom Content Marketers

I was notified by Joe that my blog has been selected as one being tagged by Junta42 - a new site that all of you interested in what I talk about may be interested in following for related posts.

Here's the skinny from Joe:
"Junta42 mashes up components of Digg, del.icio.us and other basic Web 2.0 components to create a highly targeted niche community search site (in this case, content marketing). It's a simple but effective site that lets marketers, bloggers and media professionals post relevant content marketing articles or case studies.

Users can promote articles they like (much like Digg), but instead of the content being moderated solely by the community, Junta42 uses expert editors to moderate content on the site. In this way, it's like a trade magazine that creates no original content and holds no loyalty to any particular authors.

If it's great content that's of value to the community, you'll find it at Junta42. Finally, it's interesting that Junta42 is rewarding "power contributors" with the AdSense proceeds from the site. Nice incentive for bloggers looking for a little extra incentive."

I went out and visited the site and found things that were interesting, on point and valuable for anyone looking for a site that aggregates this type of information. It's going to be a great resource.

Joe - thanks for including me!

Thanks Ardath...I believe the key to success will be writers, bloggers and marketers promoted content on the site they feel is valuable. Great content marketing content is out there, it just hasn't been organized in a way people can find it (outside of going to about 100 blogs per day - which can take a toll on sleeping and eating). Thanks again.

Just discovered your site via a Google search on webinar attendance which referred me to your January 2006 article on the subject. It gave me some great ideas.

Also I like the Junta42 concept. Seems to be a good mix of (1) moderation, (2) harvesting collective user intelligence and (3) automated search.
