This looks pretty neat; I am unclear about one thing tho:
Reading the TNW article, I got the impression that OwnLocal would help local papers with their web presence, social media blogging, all that, and I assumed a news publishing platform (I think I was way off here) as well as ad sales and generating revenue on the web.
When I visited the site, I saw only ad-related products. Am I missing something, or did I misread that article (perhaps it is just an ad company). I salute your effort to assist local papers either way, they can use all the help they can get, but I wonder: is this a newspaper publishing platform, or mainly an ad platform?
unrelated note: http://ownlocal.com/products/local-hero/ http://ownlocal.com/products/local-hero/ lightboxes aren't working in the "screnshots" section (osx.6 ff4, chromium).

- jeremymims 16y agoIn a nutshell, we're a one-stop shop for small businesses to get online. We work with small business customers through their existing long-time relationships with local groups and publications.
- sequoia 16y agoI think I understand now: it's a company that helps small media companies make money advertising on the web; nothing to do with journalism. I was waaay off, thank you. :)
- jeremymims 16y agoThe biggest problem with journalism right now is how to pay for it. We help solve that problem. (As a side note, it works really well for bigger media companies too.)
