Since the advent of the internet content has been created at a breakneck speed. Starting first with the people who had means to not only access the internet but to create trustworthy looking news sources such as CNN.
Lets face it geocities just wasn't the most credible news venue. So it's not surprising that blogs are just now catching on.
Initially, very few people had access to the Internet and even fewer had the ability to create and maintain online content. But in recent years, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and many other technologies have enabled anyone with a pulse and an internet connection to draw an audience -- sometimes a very loyal and passionate audience..
Did I have a copy editor? Not a paid one. It's simply too easy to make and publish content. So I hit send and it's done. My failure to properly grasp commas is displayed for the world to see. But the content is editable by you using gooseGrade. This is unique because you actually have the ability to make someone else looks smarter than they are. Not only do I look smarter fixing my errors but I learn and you get my deepest gratitude.
It's not easy to admit to making mistakes but it should be easy to fix then. If you are at dinner chowing down on a Cesar salad wouldn't you want to be told you have a piece of lettuce the size of Texas in your teeth? As the amount of posts increases so do the niches and at some point it just isn't feasible to have a copyediting team for a blog about go-cart racing.
Harness the power of your niche audience and get them to copyedit articles!
