Loomia adds big Client
According to Tech Crunch Loomia has landed a great cleint with The Wall Street Journal. Their widget shows stored that other people have read based on what you are reading. This is like Amazon’s people who bought this also bought this feature.
This is a nice deal for Loomia, it should help their exposure and having their “Powered By” link there really helps get the word out about them. Good Job Guys!
I really like the way Loomia works. They are a web service and have what appears to be three distinct products, a Free version a Media version and a Retail version. The free version is add supported, the media version is $50.00 per month. The reatail version is 2.5 percent referred sales. They are really covering the bases here with thier pricing models.
Setting up Loomia for you site is really easy. First you must publish feed of the items that you want recommendations for. Once you have done this you setup javascrip widgets in your site. These widgets interact with their service to produce content for you site. This is a very smart way to get rapid adoption of their service. This was so easy that I have set this up on my site here. I am using the clickstream widget with the recommendations showing on the left hand side of all my pages.
If Loomia really wants to get wide acceptance they will offer bloggers a rev-share with their free widget. A lot of bloggers are looking for a new way to make money from their blogs.
