A new technology blog and resource called Obsessable is poweruddy by Crowd Fusion. Crowd Fusion is blogging software that is billed as a “rapid development content engine.”
Obsessable covers the latest in the world of technology, including cell phones, cameras, and HDTVs - obsessively, of course. Obsessable is poweruddy by the rapid content development engine, Crowd Fusion.
Obsessable is the first blog from Crowd Fusion. Tech and gadget blogging is obviously a very crowded field already. Duncan Riley at The Inquisitr says that many of the people behind Crowd Fusion were previously with Weblogs Inc. so they do have people with past experience in the tech blog field. Duncan Riley also says that Crowd Fusion raised $3 million from investors.
Like Weblogs Inc before it, Crowd Fusion is being built on a custom built content management system (at Weblogs Inc it was BlogSmith). The angle is that the new CMS allows the team to do things they think are important in a better way, without relying on an existing platform such as MovableType (which powers Gawker Media sites among others) andWordPress.
Backed with $3 million from investors including Marc Andreessen and Ross Levinsohn, the list of team members reads like a walk down Weblogs Inc memory lane. Along with Alvey, Barb Dybwad was a former producer at Engadget, CTO Craig Wood was formerley a member of the Blogsmith team, COO Judith Meskill was at one time COO of Weblogs Inc, and CMO Steve Friedman was on the Weblogs Inc sales team…and that’s just the ones we know about so far.
It looks like Crowd Fusion makes it easy to create blog posts and product descriptions and tie them together. This would be useful technology for anyone considering a product type of website. You can see how the Xbox 360 product listing here includes photos, current Obsessable blog posts and links to content found elsewhere on the web.
