BloggingWorks for Press Pages

11 Aug 2003 by Scott Heiferman

Hey Jason, if you’re looking for a good BloggingWorks case study, check out the masterful work of our communications guy, Myles Weissleder, at press.meetup.com. Less interesting is how he catalogs media coverage as a weblog. More interesting is the left-side nav of “Internal Info” and “External Info” — including one-click searches of Google News and blog-watch sites for mentions of Meetup. So obvious, yet so innovative.

Hey Jason, if you're looking for a good BloggingWorks case study, reread Scott's post above. Less interesting is that it's a weblog entry. More interesting is how he uses a weblog for internal coumunication while simultaneously opening up his message for comments. Not obvious, but very innovative.

Man, I was thinking of doing nearly the same thing (i.e. doing an "in the news" section via Web log software. Nice to see someone else doing it and doing a nice job of it.

Did you have to ask those media sources for permission to "reprint" the articles?

I think you can even use the google APi to print the first headline of google news under External Info.

Nice, Josh... that got my day off to a good laugh!

thanks all...

any/all suggestions/recommendations to make our press page better are welcome! we just moved over to MT from blogger and i've never been happier. (not to say blogger is bad, but MT better suits our needs at this point in time.)

regarding reprints -- i'm balancing the fine line between the 'fair use act' and the right an organization (like a restaurant) has to hang an article on the wall when they get some good ink.

if a publisher cries foul with a cease-and-desist, i will, with little-to-no fight.

until then, we're going to roll with it.

If an application is designed well, the reward for users is that they will learn it faster, accomplish their daily tasks more easily, and have fewer questions for the help desk. As a developer of a well-designed application, your returns on that investment are more upgrade revenue, reduced tech support, better reviews, less documentation, and higher customer satisfaction. The rewards of building a good-looking Aqua application are worth taking the extra time.
