Laney Whitcanack, Chief Community Officer at Federated Media Publishing, discusses leveraging the independent web and large portals to create shareable content. She argues that marketers should use both the independent web, where people choose to spend online, and large portals to maximize their audience and engage in conversations that drive sharing. When combined effectively, the independent web and portals provide marketers with the "ultimate Ying and Yang combo" to fuel their digital strategies.

Editor's Notes
- Probably wondering about what everyone from my mom to the person who made my nametag today is wondering – what does it mean to be the Chief Community Officer - Coolest jobs on the planet because my team and I get to work with thousands of publishers everyday who make up the independent web.
- Size of independent web
- Online brands you know and love, not owned by large media companies Dooce, I Can Haz Cheeseburger, VentureBeat,
- Online brands you know and love, not owned by large media companies Dooce, I Can Haz Cheeseburger, VentureBeat,
- Independent web is where people seek out the most unique and powerful voices, relatable to their own passionsSource of conversation where ideas are born and sharedWhere people CHOOSE to go onlineThink of Facebook defining itself as a utility – Independent web is not a utility. It is a place of indulgence, enjoyment, of connecting with passions of the reader and author in an intimate way. Where people choose to go online. Does a food lover get as excited to check their email as they do to go to a food blog? Does a new mom get as excited to read her Yahoo homepage as she does when she is looking at Design Mom? The independent web is where people go to connect with their passions online.
- Web’s growth engine. Statistic doesn’t need much explaining. If you look at it’s growth, the independent web has incredible size and scale. In fact if you think about it, it’s got the scale and size of any major portal – a distributed portal, so to speak.
- It’s a real channel! This is what FM has been about for the last six years – creating a channel to these seemingly disparate parts and then connecting them with – now that it’s got the scale, it’s a real life opportunity to nagvigate and activate programs, just like on the major portals. We’re even making headway on quantifying it – Quantcast will be sharing more on this later today. Needless to say, it’s an exciting moment for the independent web.
- Is it exactly the same as a portal – distributed portal?I’d argue that they are interdependent – it’s not YIN or YANG, it’s YIN and YANG.Similarly, smart marketers know it’s independent web and large portals, not either or. In the basest terms, here’s why:
- Wow! I have like 20 pageviews and I have no referrral traffic. Both the independent web and the portals need each other.
- Total interdependence here between them – reminds me of peanut butter and chocolate – two great tastes that go great together – totally different, but complementary with ability to elevate each other
- Ideal way to do this is to utilize both in a kind of Yin and Yang combo – right.Content is created on “native site” Shared by social portalsSocail actions bring content links to a new expanded audienceSocial landings happen when new audience comes back to the original content.
- So you’re one of my smart marketers – you get that it all starts with great content. Challenge is that good content to you means something different than to me.Brand – good content helps sell the productConsumer – good content is what I’m interested inSeemingly at odds, unless brand can find or create the RIGHT content in the right context. Want to sell red shoes, selling the on a blog about shoes, where readers have CHOSEN to come to read about shoes, matters.
- Plenty of our folks here from FM to have a conversation or talk more about this.
