<p>Entering the afternoon session at <a href="http://onlinejournalismblog.com/2008/02/12/jeecamp-the-journalism-enterprise-and-entrepreneurship-unconference/">JEECamp</a>, delegates have been invited to pitch their &#8216;journalism enterprise&#8217; ideas to the floor.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.scunnered.com/">Kyle McRae</a>, who left photo agency <a href="http://www.scoopt.com">Scoopt</a>, which he founded, only a week ago, raised the idea of Qotz (working title), a community site, where online articles and content will be submitted and filtered on the basis of &#8216;pull quotes&#8217;.</p>
<p>The pull quote, says McRae, is the bait that draws the reader into an article and by tagging content in this way adds more value to the recommendation.</p>
<p>Content would then be searchable by pull quotes and categorised.</p>
<p>While suggesting the service would share similarities with Digg, McRae said there would be &#8216;no a-list bias&#8217; e.g. no users would have more authority or privilege over others.</p>
<p>Answering a question on how Qotz would differ from del.ici.ous, he said: &#8220;del.ici.ous has limited value because it&#8217;s the same people recommending the same sites, without any real justification of why.&#8221;</p>
<p>Very much in its infancy, with McRae himself admitting he is 60/40 over whether this is a good idea (no indication of direction given) &#8211; but how useful would you find this?</p>
