PayPerPost, Inc. has now been changed to IZEA, Inc. The official press release can be read on the IZEA site.
Most people already know about the popular PayPerPost. PayPerPost pays you to write on your blog for advertisers wanting to get the word out about their products and/or services. They have also come up with services that are free to use. One of them is Argus for tracking.
The name change comes just days before the scheduled unveiling of IZEA’s highly anticipated new service, codenamed Argus. An alpha version of the offering will be revealed on Nov. 10 at PostieCon, the company’s annual user conference. It will provide both bloggers and advertisers more visibility into social media and allow them to interact with each other and the public in more immediate, transparent and accountable ways.
It’s really interesting what new ideas they keep coming up with. I think the strangest one is broadcasting your blog’s content into space for aliens to read. It’s very possible that someone out there might be interested in reading what you have to say!
With the new change, you can download IZEA wallpaper. Very nice! I love the logo.
If you like the IZEA logo, you can download it and use it to create your own wallpaper and share it.
Others discussing this change:
yeah they come up with some crazy ideas and i must say ted murphy is a pretty good business savvy guy. it makes perfect sense to create a name that umbrellas all their offerings but a lot of people think they did it under “forced” circumstances (i.e. to stray the business name away from the controversial PPP name). i do like the logo but could do with more subtle colors though. wonder how much they paid for the name. don’t think they got it for cheap.
I’m glad they changed the name. It was confusing when they would create new ideas as PayPerPost. Did someone else own IZEA before them?
And, I agree with you about the logo, more subtle colors might make the logo look even nicer.
