If Techmeme was special, Gabe’s approach to monetizing goes one step further. He announced their new business model today, impressing the blogosphere, and opening up a new advertising based engagement (reach-out) model for businesses that use blogs. This reminds me of something Amazon came up with this year, and what they call Plogs, where select amazon editors/sellers engage customers in a marketing loop. Perhaps Gabe’s work with Techmeme will bring Plogs and many other related efforts into real world use.

Far reaching implications I am sure. Smart!

Looking forward, I wonder what plans Gabe has for memeorandum.The audience catered to by memeorandum is just perfect for many political campaigns.
