Now live: VentureBeat’s syndication deal with the New York Times

VentureBeat’s previously mentioned syndication deal with the New York Times went live today. Take a look at the screenshot. The Gray Lady is featuring our stories in a mini-section in the homepage of its Technology section. Click on one of our story links and you’ll be taken to the full version, hosted on the Times’ site.

We’ll only be syndicating some stories, though. This self-congratulatory post, for example, won’t be showing up. In order for us to blast you with the full firehose of our content, you’ll still have to visit us here, or subscribe to our RSS feed, or happen upon one of the many spam blogs that plagiarize us wholesale.

Startups are mostly about working long and stressful hours, and VentureBeat has been no exception. I began here when it was just Matt Marshall, back in the spring of 2007, while I was busy failing at my first startup. Milestones like this tell me that I — we — aren’t crazy for trying to create a business out of blogging. Instead, we seem to be doing something right. Thanks for reading, everyone, and stay tuned.

About the Author, Eric Eldon

Eric currently covers digital media technology and business news, especially what's happening on social networks and their platforms. He also writes and edits stories about venture capital, and lots of other stuff, too. He started at VentureBeat in the spring of 2007, half a year or so after Matt Marshall left his reporting job at the San Jose Mercury News to found the site. Eric previously cofounded a startup called Writewith, that was building editorial software for newspapers and other groups of writers. The startup didn't work out, but he learned a lot.
