According to elitist political theorist, when the framers of the United States Constitution crafted the first amendment, they did so knowing that commoners wouldn’t have the means to truly use the written word to their advantage. With the Internet, however, that thinking becomes muted itself as anyone who can post an article to the Internet can be indexed by major search engines, discovered, and heard.
Many writers, frustrated with the thought of selling their ideas to major publication editors, have turned to online article banks, eZines, and other Internet publication sources. Part of the challenge with these sites, however, as they have become a popular place for SEO link building and general SPAMMING of questionable products making these sites susceptible to becoming “bad neighborhoods“. Thus, a new generation of sites has emerged that combines social media with writing. The premise of these sites is that good content is rewarded by the community and bad content is cast out. A great example of one of these communities is Hubpages.
Though advanced article communities such as Squidoo and Hubpages are great to work with, the actual entity of an article bank has kind of faded as they have been abused by SEO’ers and self promoting article writers. The content of article Banks doesn’t necesarily need to become policed by social communities if the invitation process itself is kept in tact by social semantics. In layman’s terms? Invite only article banks that apply a high bar to writers and their content. So, that is what we did. Orangecast is proud to announce that we have created a private (public to the search engines) or invite only article directory with the aspiration of hosting high quality articles by writers who are passionate about writing.
