Artists & Naturalists Have A New Source For News

January 4, 2010 by Tania Marien

Social media is not for everyone in spite of all the hype. Quite frankly, sometimes you just don’t feel like making friends. All you want to do is read and learn in peace.

To create exactly this type of a peaceful user experience, ArtPlantae has established a news area that is viewable without any obligation whatsoever. And since it serves as the source for the news bits posted to Facebook and Twitter, readers of this new news source receive the same information that Fans and the Twitterati receive. So if you have been avoiding congested social media channels like the plague, you now have the opportunity to receive information that does not require opening an account, logging-in, or having your photo appear on the Web every time you surface. All you need to do is read, glean bits of information, nod your head, and be on your way.

Here is how all of this works.

ArtPlantae shares news bites and interesting articles with its readers on Facebook and Twitter in between the usual Monday morning email updates. When the news stream is ripe with stories, information is posted on an (almost) daily basis. This information is now being funneled through the ArtPlantae News Feed, a very simple straightforward place to pick up as many morsels of news as you feel like having. Feel free to drop-in anytime.

If you would like to have your morsels fed to you, then subscribe to the feed and never worry about having to leave your inbox to search out what’s new. Subscribing to the feed means you will receive an update at the end of any day on which updates were posted. If no news is shared, no update is sent. It’s that simple.

However you choose to participate, we hope you

    Will these news bites and interesting articles still be in the weekly?

      The news bites are not part of the Monday weekly update. They are separate little bits of information. These items are redirected to the feed because they fall in the category, “Hey, did you see the newspaper article about…”

      All content will stay at ArtPlantae.com, although some items from a Monday weekly may be posted to the new feed.

    Hi Folks:

    Sounds like a great idea. I value my own space too much to belong to these “kiddy sites.”

    I do welcome information so this might be a great way to proceed.

    Thanks,

    Annabella
