TechCrunch: Publish2 takes on Associated Press with new Online News Exchange
May 25th, 2010Posted by Joel Gunter in Business, Editors' pick, Handy tools and technology
Online news aggregation service Publish2 announced yesterday that it intends to challenge the AP newswire with a new product that it claims will be more open and more efficient.
The start-up realises that the only way to disrupt the monster co-op is by offering a completely scalable substitute. Here’s basically what the company hopes the Publish2 News Exchange will do to the AP: ‘Craigslist it’.
As in, kill the AP’s main income stream by offering an open, efficient alternative.
And my educated guess is publishers are going to love this.
