February 2, 2000 (Nashville) OnLineCityGuide.com today announced an investment in CityDigest.com, a leading local news digest site.
According to Mark Oldham, President, "CityDigest.com is on the cutting edge of where news sites are headed. More and more people are turning to the internet to get their news, but are reluctant to browse 6 or 7 news sites to get their full cross-section of news."
"By "digesting" the news," and fully crediting the source, and then deep-linking the reader to the article, the reader has the option to either get an overview or "digest" or click the link to the full story", according to Oldham, This allows the user to get access to all the news for one city and state at one comprehensive site.
CityDigest.com and OnLineCityGuide.com will work together to formulate a strategy to cross-promote both sites.
The amount of the investment was not disclosed. |
