Cullect Serves Publishers Too.

“You have to build a service with the user/reader in mind or you won’t get any uptake. But if you can’t engage the content creator in your service, you’ll lose something important” - Fred Wilson

Exactly. From the beginning, I wanted Cullect to be useful to feed publishers as well as their readers.

There are a number of ways it’s doing that now,:

  1. Readers can donate a percentage of their monthly Cullect subscription to their favorite blogger, podcaster, writer, publisher (yes, these donations directly impact a feed’s important ranking).
  2. The Cullect Robot says which reading lists a feed is in and any monthly donation amount.
  3. Cullect Feed Stats widget can display a feeds most important items or it’s recommended items.
  4. Cullect recognizes comments-url tag and links to the original feed item.
