Update: 3 Editors and 24 Contributors on siliconANGLE.com – Open Source Approach to Profit Sharing

I’m really happy with the recent activity around what was launched as a side project of mine – siliconANGLE.com.  As of today we have 3 editors: me, Mark Rizzn Hopkins, and Rex Dixon.  Even more exciting is that we have 24 contributors signed up to blog with us.

With the growth of siliconANGLE going strong, I am announcing that 70% of all the financial revenue from the blog will go back into the siliconANGLE group and team.  My goal is to reward the group with a big share in any profits so that the group can keep the mission alive – great people, great content, quality opinion and analysis.  In my model a great blogger can make a good living doing what they do best – riding the “real time wave” and serving up high quality content.

I want to personally thank Randy Adams and the searchme.com team for being the 1st corporate member of this community.  I have a few other proposals out for inaugural corporate members so I hope we hear from them.  Being a corporate member allows us to continue the mission and be a part of this new emerging community.

siliconANGLE is  not a boring group and I love the quality of the people involved.  As we say the best blog post in our community is on that has an Angle or Opinion with a capital O.


Since you’re here …

… We’d like to tell you about our mission and how you can help us fulfill it. SiliconANGLE Media Inc.’s business model is based on the intrinsic value of the content, not advertising. Unlike many online publications, we don’t have a paywall or run banner advertising, because we want to keep our journalism open, without influence or the need to chase traffic.The journalism, reporting and commentary on SiliconANGLE — along with live, unscripted video from our Silicon Valley studio and globe-trotting video teams at theCUBE — take a lot of hard work, time and money. Keeping the quality high requires the support of sponsors who are aligned with our vision of ad-free journalism content.

If you like the reporting, video interviews and other ad-free content here, please take a moment to check out a sample of the video content supported by our sponsors, tweet your support, and keep coming back to SiliconANGLE.
