Now if only the could extend this program outside the USA, it’d be awesome :)
From AllThingsD :
Yahoo is debuting a new offering for its hundreds of million of users, which takes the Demand Media model and notches up the volume by presumably allowing a 1,000 flowers to bloom.
Or, more to the point, blab.
Called the “Yahoo Contributor Network,” the Internet giant is “inviting people to contribute to many of its most popular sites with the launch of the Yahoo! Contributor Network, a new platform for people to publish their creative content on Yahoo!.”
This all comes out of its recent acquisition on Associated Content.
It’s an interesting gambit, since everyone is already yammering away like mad on Facebook.
But Yahoo is trying to put a spin on it by using its copious content assets as inspiration for consumers, and which the Silicon Valley social networking giant does not have.
