a party I threw) so it seemed natural to integrate our sites when the opportunity arose. We've rolled out two distinct services so far.
Twitter Feeds Each of our sites now has a Twitter account where you can follow the latest news on a given topic. For example, if you want to keep up-to-date on who nearly beat whom to death in the awesome semi-legal mayhem that is Mixed Martial Arts check out http://twitter.com/fight3r. We send out an update every hour or two based on the quality & quantity of stories coming in. You'll also see some personal opinions from Chris, our Fight3r editor.
Twitter Aggregation In the past year or so we've seen some great news stories break on Twitter before getting picked up elsewhere. To capture these stories we're now running regular searches for specific terms and aggregating the best stories linked by Twitter users. In addition to our regular links to the original story and source you'll see a "via @twittername" link giving a shout out to the person who referred us to the story. ]]>

The competitive publishing space online can be split into two primary approaches to the market.
1. On one side you have companies that are lovingly constructing an individual site about a single topic. In some case they extend to a small network of 3-4 sites about closely related topics. Achieving significant scale is extremely difficult with this model. The people and technology costs limit the economically viable niches.
2. On the other side you have companies that try to create a one-size-fits-all destination. The resulting product is the online equivalent to the Saturday Evening Post.
LOUD3R represents a completely different take on how to publish online. Our focus has been to create a system for launching niche publications at significantly different scale than example 1 and with considerably greater quality and focus than example 2. LOUD3R is the future of online publishing.
Check out the newest sites in the network.
