Jux and the Next Phase of Affiliate Blogging?
I’ve been toying with Jux the last few days and I’m excited to hear about their iPad implementation.
It’s hard to explain what Jux is in a brief manner, but here goes… blogging meets Flipboard meets a new form of publishing.
Blogging is still difficult to a) make and b) read/navigate in 2011. For affiliates, this means missed conversions and sells.
Jux has the potential to shake up both the tech publishing world as well as the affiliate marketing world…
Blogging Is So Over: Jux Comes To The iPad: “Jux is radical. Publishers who are established on other platforms would have to reinvent themselves to take advantage of it. But Metcalfe wants Jux to be for the next wave. “Whetting appetites by pushing the medium is our MO,” he says.
Let me put it this way: Can your content management system publish any kind of post type you can dream of in a dynamic, Web-standard, responsive format with all the touch gestures a toddler wants it to have?”
For too long, blogging itself as well as affiliate sites have been hard to navigate, non-standards compliant and typically just not as brainless to “get in and get out” as they should be.
Jux solves those issues and offers navigation that is unlike most publishing platform experiences.
Imagine your affiliate site having the capability to be used by my four year old daughter and built structurally sound enough to preserve normal traffic channels, click throughs etc… that’s what Jux offers.
I’m going to rework a few sites tonight using the Jux app on the iPad as well as the web version and post up data as it comes in. More soon…
In an industry where ease-of-use and navigation means everything, this could be a game changer.
Of course, on Urban Dictionary (NSFW), Jux means something else entirely (or maybe not?).
