A growing trend with web sites in general, and blogs in particular is the popularity of aggregator sites that collect other people’s content and publish it all together.
In the old days, (2003) there were two kinds of successful blogs – Linkers and Thinkers. At the time, it was the “Thinkers” blogs that were popular as they were long form reads and were written by people with some sort of authority on the subject they wrote about. These “Thinker” type blogs are still popular in their niches, but with the rise of online advertising and the push for more and more page views, a few of the so called “Linker” blogs are now the most popular. They have a new high falutin’ name of “Content Curators” and one of the most popular content curators on the web is the Huffington Post which just launched a Quebec specific blog today.
“But it won’t be a sibling rivalry; it will be a powerful collaboration, a reflection of our commitment to being the hub of reporting, comprehensive curation, group blogging and engagement across all of Canada”
It’s called Le HuffPost Quebec, and there is nothing Provincial about it…(Ba doom, crash!)
