With the myriad of conversations taking place at any given time about the woes of traditional media, the future and evolution of blogging, and the need for new models that can adapt to the changing media landscape – it’s refreshing when you see an organization actually act and introduce a new media model, instead of just talking about it. That is exactly what the GigaOm Network has done with the introduction of GigaOmPro.
Launched to the world at the end of May, GigaOmPro is Om Malik’s latest brainchild, and with the fee-based service he and his team have put an interesting stake in the ground when it comes to how they see people consuming content and research moving forward. It’s a model that blurs the line between free blog content and expensive technology research, adopting a hybrid approach that they hope will ultimately provide more value to a broader audience.
From a high level, GigaOmPro is a subscriber-based service

all-you-can-eat access to more in-depth analysis and market research than is
traditionally found on the other GigaOm Network properties. GigaOmPro currently
offers content covering 4 markets – Infrastructure, Mobile
