BPA Worldwide enhancing "Site License" Support

There are many publishers (especially on the B-to-B side) that are interested in site license models for publications. For example, an industry publication might wish to make a copy of it's magazine available to a group within the company via email, or for distribution on the "intranet" of the company.

BPA Worldwide is now proposing several enhancements to their audit statement -- see their blog at bpaww.typepad.com/blog. Glenn Hansen and the BPA are working with publishers to make sure they are aware of the different options available.

Texterity already support site license via our "Subscriber Management" technology in various ways, including email group distributions, version splits, secure intranet content hosting, and our standard authentication via subscriber management.

Google Chrome Flyin' with Texterity Published Web Format

I've just had a chance to play around with Google's new "Chrome" browser. It's a quick download from www.google.com/chrome/.

Of course, I wanted to try it out! Starting on the Texterity's examples page, I opened a few favorite magazines, such as MacLife.

First impressions are great. With it's clean look, it makes a digital edition look streamlined and maximizes the viewing area. Google had supposedly written their javascript interpreter "from scratch" to make it faster, and it felt faster to me than my version of IE, but I'll need to do some more testing to be sure.

The other nice feature is that the Texterity offline (local version) can be set to open in Chrome simply by setting Chrome as the "default browser". It's a nice experience as smooth as well. Everything, including the embedded rich media, works flawlessly as far as I can tell.
