It’s been an extremely busy 2011 for the Visual Revenue team, the Platform has developed at a rate of knots, we’ve – signed dozens of customers, have dozens more evaluating the platform, expanded the team (and continue to do so!), won the CNNMoney Startup Event and have now been shortlisted for the Econsultancy Innovation Awards 2012!

“It’s clear the current [personalization] platforms don’t get us there on their own. But by striking a balance between editors and code, Pariser thinks we can get the best of both worlds.”

This week sees us continue our Fall (Autumn for us Brits!) rollout with the launch of our Collaborative Editorial Environment.

I’ve spent many hours sitting in newsrooms and regardless of Editorial team size the room is always in discussion. What to place in this position? Isn’t it about time we refreshed that module? Can’t you find a better article for that position?

It was a busy end of the week last week up at ONA’11and a fantastic event to meet up with many online Front Page Editors who had a host of very valid questions. As we’ve said on numerous occasions, Editors should be Editors and not Analysts – and with that we provide real-time input (specific recommendations) on what content to place where on a Front Page and for how long.

Tonight CNNMoney hosted its first startup event, at which three entrepreneurs were invited to pitch their ventures — and talk up how their companies could help the CNNMoney brand. “CNNMoney received more than 100 submissions, and winnowed it down to three finalists: Qwanz, Roboinvest and Visual Revenue.”

Dennis and I will be heading up to ONA ’11 this Friday and Saturday. We’re proud to be both sponsors of ONA ’11 and members of ONA (Online News Association) and look forward to chatting with as many of you as possible, so do drop by and visit us at our booth (#15) to find out more.
