The issues with traditional blogging - Why we created Glipho (glipho.com)

Not sure, but this looks like Pinterest combined with Blogger. I can see some of the ways you might be able to get the word out more, but also think that you have those same options, with some effort, on the other platforms. Guess I'm still missing what makes this "non-traditional"?


I'm not trying to say Glipho is non-traditional at all. By traditional I mean writing blogs, not the latest I blog a picture or video craze, makes sense?

Where do you see all the content in blogger listed in a single place? Where you can search for any post written by any writer in any topic?


There are so many people on Glipho who have left their blog because it's simply that much better. When I think blogging, it's not just the writing/reading, it's add this, modify that, update this, change that, add this colour, change this font, then on top of all of that go out and get your audience..When do you actually have the time to write on your blog when you have all of the above to do?

With Glipho, you just have to read and write.


Looks promising. Two questions: what would it "cost" for people to blog? And why not have a sign-up of your own?


What do you mean by "cost"?

At the time we decided it was better to spend our time creating features and improving the site than create our own sign up. It will come soon.


Cost as in, how are you planning to sustain your site if I were to blog?


Glipho for me is about sharing opinions not standing by them!


Thank you!
