Good for Blendle! Not the first Dutch start-up to be funded by US investors, but one of the most well known (in the Netherlands anyway).<p>As far as I am aware, there is no US-based Blendle yet? (An article aggregator where you pay per article). If so, they have a large market ahead of them!
Grats to Blendle, but I don't really get the big deal. Isn't this just micro payments on bite sized content? Doesn't this just devolve into a reinforced bubble contest of which articles can get the most people to read them and thus editors (and data science people) know which articles/journalists to invest in? How do you publish unpopular stories in a world where only the popular get paid for?
