Yorkshire Means Business

Nice to see former Yorkshire Post Business Editor David Parkin's new venture hit the streets (OK its virtual equivalent!) this week. http://www.thebusinessdesk.com/ aims to bring news, information and events about and for the business community based in Yorkshire. Needless to say I have signed up for news alerts and it will be interesting to see how this venture progresses versus more traditional publications, not least the YP!

As with my previous post on monetising online communities, the key to such a venture will be how to produce content at reasonable cost and in the business model who pays for what, when. I am sure he has done his numbers -particularly as Colin Glass is his Finance Director!
