March 30, 2015 by Andrew Leave a Comment

A lengthy Link Herd today as we catch up with the the ins-and-outs of “We’re all publishers now”. We see some of the usual suspects here including the reoccurring bad-boy; publishers are struggling in the face of dropping ad revenue and the rise of alternative platforms.

    Livefyre which is both a comment platform and a large publisher content marketing tool has raised shy of $50m in another round of funding. Adobe and Salesforces are onboard as backers. Livefyre’s content tools are beyond this blogger’s budget but I’d very much like to see more community injected into their comment platform.
