Landrith Sells Out

I was recently signed by Newstex as a syndicated blogger (along with more well-known blogs like BlogCritics.org, Wonkette, Joanne Jacobs, Gawker, and others). Newstex, according to their website:

…offers Content On Demand, including tailored, real-time news and commentary from thousands of branded newswires, newspapers, magazines, financial and business sources, official government feeds and weblogs. Newstex collects full-text digital news and commentary feeds, standardizes the content format, adds stock ticker symbols, people tickers and categories, and instantly delivers the result as easy-to-integrate XML or RSS newsfeeds.

In a move I find most encouraging, Newstex recently formed a partnership with LexisNexis to incorporate their blog offerings (mine included) into the LexisNexis database:

LexisNexis U.S., a leading provider of information and services solutions, and Newstex, the Content On Demand^™ company, today announced an alliance to deliver Newstex Blogs On Demand via the LexisNexis® online service. Newstex Blogs On Demand makes available full-text blog content from premier Weblogs in a wide variety of categories including art, career, economics, environment, finance, food, health, law, marketing, medical, technology, video games and many more.

Unlike existing Web-based blog aggregation services, Newstex actually licenses influential blog content directly from independent bloggers and then takes in each carefully selected blog feed in text format and uses its proprietary NewsRouter technology to scan it in real-time.

While I won't be quitting my dayjob just yet, perhaps I'll be able to afford a little extra cheese on my Whopper…
