Problogger has an excellent interview with Graham Holliday of Noodlepie about Scoopt Words. Cruise across the blogosphere to Noodlepie in Vietnam and you will see a little icon in Graham’s sidebar saying “buy this content.” The idea is that a magazine or newspaper editor can buy straight off the website. It’s an excellent idea. My apologies for allowing Problogger to scoop me on Scoopt. Graham did let me know, but I let it slip, as I was deep in podcasting and other business. We will be signing up, and will post some longer length articles in the hope that an editor with good taste drops buy and takes one to the cash-out.

Thanks Hugh
I should add that I suppose the real ‘value end’ of this for bloggers is really when we start aggregating and pushing ‘blog content packages’ to editors. Obviously, we won’t be aggregating crap, it’ll be the quality end.
We’ve already have media interest - which is nice - and pleasing considering we’ve only been out in stealth-beta for two weeks or so.
Quality content? Rats. Maybe I don’t qualify.
