Best of WordCount: content aggregators and hyperlocal news

During the 2010 WordCount Blogathon, I’m using Sundays to re-run some of my favorite posts.

In light of this week’s announcement that Yahoo is buying Associated Content, today’s Best of WordCount edition is a collection of posts I’ve done over the past year on content aggregators and hyperlocal news ventures:

On content aggregators:

  • What Yahoo’s deal for Associated Content means for writers
  • Suite101 CEO Peter Berger and a question of quality
  • The great rate debate continues
  • The race to the bottom
  • WordCount Q&A: Helium CEO Mark Ranalli
  • Writer games Examiner.com to make point about writing for content aggregators
  • Counterpoint: Yes, freelancers should write for Helium
  • Freelancers, don’t write for content aggregators

On hyperlocal news:

  • AOL’s news initiative – freelance friend or foe?
  • A guide to hyperlocal news
  • Novice freelancers, instead of Helium, try hyperlocal
