BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gather,
the leading demand-driven media company, announced the launch of
the
Business (http://www.business.gather.com)
and Technology (http://www.technology.gather.com)
news channels on the popular site. Content on the site?s
Technology
Channel includes everything from PCs and gadgets to social media
and
trending news stories within the tech industry. The Business
Channel
includes the day?s news relevant to the business community such as
mergers & acquisitions, finance and more.
?Gather has tremendous momentum in the demand media
space, with millions
of people flocking to our site to get perspective on the news
stories
that matter most to them?
Gather reaches 7 million unique visitors per month, growing 7x in
the
last 12 months. The site is a top 250 web company (via Quantcast
ranking) with reach that exceeds that of many media outlets
including
CBS.com, WSJ.com and USAToday.com. Gather recently made
significant
upgrades to its social conversation platform that allow
contributors
(called Socialwriters?) to efficiently build large audiences
around the
content they share, resulting in the huge audience growth.
Gather Socialwriters start discussions in the community on hot
topics
and breaking news stories that people are talking about across the
country, and are paid monthly ? hundreds, even thousands of
dollars a
month - based on the popularity of their posts. Based on the
success of
popular existing channels, such as Entertainment, Sports, Life and
Style, Celebs and News, Gather is currently seeking writers for
the
launch of the new Business and Technology channels.
?Gather has tremendous momentum in the demand media space, with
millions
of people flocking to our site to get perspective on the news
stories
that matter most to them,? said Tom Gerace, CEO and Founder of
Gather.
?We are continuing to build on the success of our established
channels
with an expansion into Business and Technology news, where Gather
will
provide a platform for discussion on a broad range of topics
within
those categories.?
