Would You Like to Have Social Features Added to SEO Content Factory?
6 Comments - by Antone Roundy - SEO Content FactorySEO Content Factory users, I have a question for you. There's been a bit of uproar lately from Google Reader users over Google's plans to removing sharing and social features from Reader. It got me thinking, something like that could be added to SEO Content Factory. My question is, would you be interested?
What I'd probably do is make it so that you could use SEO Content Factory to publish any number of feeds of shared items (just one for everything, or you could split them up by topic, etc.)
You'd be able to tack on an annotation to each shared item.
SEO Content Factory would automatically send information about your feeds (if you want) to my server, which would keep a searchable list of shared feeds, and show previews of them to searchers, similar to our blog network.
You could, on a feed-by-feed basis, control whether each feed was publicly searchable in the directory or not, and whether the feed was password protected or not. If it's password protected, the directory probably wouldn't show a preview (it'd seem a little weird to protect it but have a publicly available preview). And maybe the directory could link to a contact form on your site where people could request the password.
That's what I've brainstormed up so far. Anyone interested? Shall we hang out a sign for displaced Google Reader users?
Its an amazing idea, It will help us to create a instant traffic to our sites or blogs, great stuff mate, thanks for sharing.

An excellent idea, Antone, although I comment as an intended user of SEO Content Factory. I'm planning to buy it in the next few days.

Yeah, I am still yet to set up SEO CF but I would definitely use these features once I do. I am often sharing items from GR.

Great Idea!

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it. I've had several more ideas for how to enhance the feature overnight (but no time to list them here -- gotta run).
Anybody else who's interested, please continue to say so even though I've just about made up my mind...

A few updates.
* I'll be releasing a new version of SEO Content Factory called "Social Content Factory", which will include sharing features, but won't include the publishing and other plugins. It'll be less expensive, with a direct upgrade path to SEO Content Factory.
* SEO Content Factory will contain all of the sharing features of Social Content Factory (existing users will get it as a free upgrade).
* You'll be able to search the directory and subscribe to shared feeds from within the SEO/Social Content Factory interface. If you subscribe that way, you can optionally have your username listed as a subscriber to the feed. The publisher will be able to see who's subscribing to them, and will be able to click their usernames to bring up a list of their shared feeds (and subscribe to any they wish).
* In SEO Content Factory/WG, the administrator will have full control over who can share in what feeds.
The work is well underway already...
