Comment on What can we do better? YCW12 Reject: Droptypeparent

We're trying to build a platform that's more geared to long-form writers instead of people mainly aggregating content created by others. Services like Tumblr, Posterous, and Wordpress are focused more on real-time, constant updates. We're looking to build something for writers, not the blogging set.

Our monetization strategy is focused on providing writers with the tools for selling their content and then building a solid reading experience on top of that content.

Hey Alex - alright can see where you are coming from. Venkatesh Rao (from Ribbonfarm) writes ridiculously long posts on Wordpress. Maybe you can reach out to him to see if your product would interest him?

Will do, thank you very much.
