Another Cool Idea

Some awesome literary projects have started this year like Submishmash and Vouched Books. I’m equally excited for LitSense, a collaborative advertising network for literary communities. I’m looking forward to learning more about this project. It would be great to see something like this take off. Advertising = money and money = good. Math!

      I don’t understand it. Will you interview them?

      I think I will. I’m curious about how this will all work. My very fragile understanding is that a bunch of literary organizations will approach advertisers as a block, using our collective page hits/views so ads will run on all member sites, etc. When I know more, the GIANT will know more.

      another idea: a philadelphia small used bookstore / indie press distributor that specializes in poetry, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches called bacon, egg, and verse. because the breakfast sandwich is the greatest of all sandwiches.

      I love that idea. If I lived in Philadelphia I would definitely shop/breakfast there.

      Re: LitSense, I am tentatively excited. I don’t fully understand how it works, so I’m looking forward to that interview, Roxane.

      Seems interesting, but as with everyone else here, there are more questions than answers when poking around at the site. And the links to wordhustler at the bottom of the page don’t particularly help that case.

      Looking forward to what you dig up, Roxane.
