For almost four years journalists have been exchanging peer-to-peer knowledge, resources and experiences in a social network at Visual Editors.

VizEds is just coming OUT of beta. (Three years is about the right gestation period for an online community to mature into a viable entity)

Visual Editors is run by a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity – so there is no cost or barriers to access and it strives for many of the networked goals you state here.

The social network was originally formed to network newspaper designers but has grown to encompass the wider community of digital journalism .

The long explanatory post is both intriguing and confusing. I’d like to hear a more concise explanation but I admire your entrepreneurial spirit and look forward to seeing it happen.

Now, here’s one high and tight. This sounds like us working for the good of journalism and career as you monetize content. How is it not that? If it is that, the appeal seems pretty thin.

Will you be optimizing the interface for mobile/PDA access? I feel like more and more people, especially in major cities (nyc, dc,philly,la, sf), are relying on their mobile devices for instant information access.
I have also thought about how mobile device makers and their software partners should start marketing “affinity” devices that are pre-loaded with software/bookmarked sites geared to a specific audience. For example, if the iPhone were to offer a Journalist-Centric iPhone, Publish2’s site could be pre-loaded for easy access (along the same lines as YouTube) in addition to other, useful Journalist-centric tools. Of course, non-Journalists will also be excited about Publish2’s platform and philosophy for information retrieval and presentation.

Interesting. Myself and a bunch of friends/colleagues have been talking this week about how LinkedIn and FaceBook don’t meet journos’ needs. I’ll try it.
