Are we talking tech or content?

Content Landscape 2014• Creating website now is about content distribution vs
page creation• The Attention Web - content that keeps you engaged• Publish once, distribute to all platforms• Using multi platform as the curation tools – photo,
videos, and audio• Curating content is critical as breaking new content,
something “new” is impossible• Real Time web = no time for masterpieces• Opinion + thought matter + so does personality /
individuality• Live media vs On Demand Media – doesn't expire as fast

Engagement Oriented Sites P.R.E.A.M. Sites = Page Views Rule Everything Around Me
• Viralnova, EliteDaily, Distractify• Buzzfeed, Upworthy, Vox, and Gawker = 250 million
monthly unique visitors• While all U.S. newspaper websites pull in about 141
million online monthly uniques
