You mentioned you have plans for expanding internationally. Any comments on that? :-)
(I like the idea and I wouldn't mind to pay for things I read that interests me, unbundled. So you'd be welcome to sign up some Swedish papers!)
- JeanMertz 11y agoOther than "stay tuned", not really. If you're interested, visit https://launch.blendle.com https://launch.blendle.com and leave your email address. We'll let you know once we launch in Sweden :)
- funzoneq 11y agoWe are working on it. But we have to reach agreements with all individual publishers, which takes a lot of negotiations and time. We also need to reach 'a critical mass of publishers', before we can launch in a new country. But as listed in the article, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the Washington post are coming. So we are beefing up our international outlet.
- ersii 11y agoDoes that mean you're opening up account creation for the US, when that content has come around? Or would I, as a Swede be able to create an account and read (and pay) for the US content? (I guess I'm asking about 1) Account creation 2) Geographical restrictions)
- jurre 11y agoWe try to sign publishers without any geographical restrictions, but I think it's ultimately up to them.
- ersii 11y agoSo that means you'll open up world-wide account creation when you have some non-dutch content available? :-)
- JeanMertz 11y agoWe already support world-wide account creation by simply clicking through the "launch" page in the top right corner. Of course, the site will still show up in Dutch, but there is an "international"[0] section where you can already read The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and soon more. https://blendle.com/kiosk/internationaal https://blendle.com/kiosk/internationaal
