Blogging Conversations

Developed: created by Simon

Connecting blog content using an enhanced trackback concept, combined with social networking elements. By using a Group Authentication API, bloggers can produce collaborative works, and participate in conversations via their own blogs. Target platform is Wordpress initially.

Ad Network Integration

In Development: created by Simon

There is one area OIOpublisher is still weak in - regular income for the small blogger. As the site grows, the API can alleviate this problem via central purchases, and job requests. However to cover all the bases, I propose a (potentially CPC / CPA) module that would work in conjunction with the private sales.
Ads would run in unfilled spaces, where a private sale had not been made. Almost like an overflow ad network. Development almost complete.

BlogOff Challenge

In Development: created by Simon

Building on the Social Module described above, blogoffs would involve injecting the conversation search results of participating blogs with an unknown topic from a seed blog. The participants would then have a set period of time to make a reply. The best article would be chosen via social voting, or a panel of judges.
The winner would then proceed onto the next round of the competition, eventually culminating in a BlogOff Champion. The aim is to find the best writers, not the most popular bloggers! Early development stage.

DigiZine Publications

In Development: created by Simon

Thinking outside the box is important here, and that's why we've come up with a new concept to enable bloggers, as well as budding editors, to monetise their content, without relying on ads! Users will be able to create their own niche publications, using articles from OIOpublisher content owners (pending permission), in combination with editorials to link items together.
Revenue will be generated via ad / subscription revenue, and shared between content owners. Early development stage.
