Salon comes to play in Userland

by ·

The new Salon blogs site is incredible – there are some seriously talented writers there blogging away, including most of Salon’s leadership team, and other famous folks such as Ray Ozzie and others.  Impressive.



Press release: “Salon Media Group, in partnership with UserLand Software, today announced the launch of Salon Blogs, a new service that will allow Salon’s users to publish their own weblogs through Salon.” A business model is born! Congrats to both UserLand and Salon for their insight on making this deal happen. Lets hope this gives some BigPubs a run for their money. Literally. [Adam Curry: Adam Curry’s Weblog]
