Revive Old Post

I wish this wasn't just for Wordpress. @hunterwalk wrote about the death of the time stamp recently, which has been a core focus of Medium. It also reminds me of a short piece I published a year ago, titled Blogging & Evergreen Content, referencing something @colinraney wrote. In most cases, a blog post gets a majority of attention within the first few days of its lifetime but there's a ton evergreen content out there that ends up getting buried beneath the chronological presentation of most blogs.

thanks for the tip @rrhoover ! What do you think is the market size here ? Enough to develop a web app ?

Complete agree with @RyanHoover. All content is not equal and the web should have a bias toward preserving important content. This idea is waaay bigger than a Wordpress plugin (though this is a great place to start). There is a need to surface evergreen content over daily novelties. 1. Paul Graham can't be the only person who has the market cornered on timeless posts. 2. Peter Theil's new book is nothing but his lectures/internet essays in print. There's a need for a platform that allows communities to highlight/elevate timeless content. The majority of the web is focused on breaking news/content, there is an opportunity for long-term curation. It could be for entrepreneurs looking for learning tools, or writers appreciating great craft, or artisans sharing skills. I'm skeptical that this can be algorithmic. Humans have a sense of the zeitgeist that machines don't. This would have that human, cared-for feel that wikipedia does. It would be a great extension of wikipedia, but the interaction model is all wrong, same goes for Quora. Instapaper would actually be an interesting model for it (b/c if you wanted to download annuals of information on a topic to your mobile you could.) You could also have a model where you print the best in an anthology, like Fuck Jetpacks or Dave Eggers Fiction anthologies (participating authors getting proceeds).

Do you guys see this as a web-app ? Something like buffer ( queue, analytics ) but focused on reviving old posts in different methods ( social networks, newsletters, website widgets ) ? It has the potential to be a business itself ? With the latest google changes and the increase of the content quality, the content is getting more and more expensive, so writing evergreen content and promoting it properly can help you save a lot of money.

I am using Revive Old post for a long time. It's one of my favorite tools for social media marketing. But unfortunately It allows you to share posts on maximum two accounts in the free version. More over, currently I am facing troubles in Facebook shares. So I am currently looking for the alternative options. Anyway, it's a good tool for the beginners.
