PODCAST: AutoSpies.com business model more flexible than Digg.com?

In terms of revenue model, Digg has not exactly figured out what they are going to do. For AutoSpies.com, they already use "ContentLink " in their stories and have other revenue streams. The point here is that AutoSpies is pursuing a hybrid model that drives users to content AutoSpies puts online. AutoSpies could post content sponsored by companies, which would be valuable for exposure.

AutoSpies' structure, if successful, could offer it more flexibility in pursuing a variety of business models because, unlike Digg, there is already an expectation that original content authored and editorialized by AutoSpies will be posted in addition to the Digg-like functionality.

That's just a snippet of the excellent coverage of the new AutoSpies.com, from Doug Sherrets and his website MinorityRapport.com.

Great interview!

It was awesome to get some cool insight from the insider's, 001 and 004.

Thank you for constantly raising the bar!

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the other large portal's makes a play for the Spies, because of this.

Seems like this is the model ALL news providers will go to in the future.

Kudo's to Auto Spies for leading the way, again.
