About fuzzypop

fuzzypop is a very clean, simple, and effortless way to publish premium content to the web.

Anyone can create a blog post for free (we call it a 'pop' around here), and anyone else who wants to read that pop can pay one fuzzypop credit to have lifetime read permissions to that pop.

Publicizing

Creating a pop is free.
Every time someone subscribes to one of your pops, the credit they spend goes directly to your fuzzypop account.
Your title and the first two lines of your pop, as denoted by periods, question marks, hard returns, or exclamation points, will be publicly visible to everyone. You should use those lines to motivate readers to spend a credit for access to your whole pop.
We provide a small set of tools to help you promote your pop across various social networks.

Reading

Reading pops cost 1 fuzzypop credit per pop.
Once you have paid a credit for the pop, you are able to view the pop for the remainder of the pop's lifespan without being charged another credit.
Each fuzzypop credit you spend to read a pop is transferred directly to the author of the pop.

Credits

At the moment fuzzypop credits have no actual monetary value. That is, they can not be redeemed for a physical good or cash.
A credit is earned for each 'subscriber' you get to each of your pops.

Following & Alerts

Once you find an author you like, you can choose to follow them. fuzzypop will then alert you whenever the people you follow have published new pops.
Currently the 'following' and 'alerts' features are free.

Inspiration

fuzzypop is an idea inspired by, and intended to basically be the combination of, Tumblr and Letter.ly with just a touch of Twitter and Foursquare sprinkled in for good measure.
