Licensing news feeds for commercial use....

sarettah · 09-19-2003

Hey,

I am working on an idea, have been researching it for a while now...

Been looking at newsfeeds ideas and was wondering if anyone has any info on commercial use of newsfeeds....

Drav... I know you use newsfeeds to a certain extent on allofem (and my idea is in no way competitive to you, imho).... You run ads on top of the page... Did you have to license the feeds for commercial use or are you just using the ones where the license is free for use ?

I have been looking and looking trying to find info without having to have the sales reps contact me....

I was out at AP this morning... To get a price, they want to know how much your monthly budget for content is...lol.... I imagine if I put an amount in there they would have the most unusual coincidence for me...

I am at a point where I have not worked out a budget yet, I need to know how much each costs so I can decide what I can afford..lololol.....

Viscious circles.........

Anyway, anybody willing to share any info.......It would be greatly appreciated

Thanx in advance

http://www.moreover.com has a variety of solutions with different price ranges... I know a lot of people are using them. They always have up-to-the-minute news on their site, not hourly or daily like some feed sources.

Interested to see what other resources Dravyk has been using or knows of...

Sarettah, actually we don't use any newsfeeds at All Of 'Em. Our news is non-fed, non-botted, hand-found daily. It's the more difficult way to do things, but it's also why people seem to like our news so much.

That said, I do have some information that may (or may not) be of use to you on the subject. Hit me on ICQ at 3492630 or "E" me.

Kath! Me? "I know nothing! Nothing!"
