We enter the new decade with an ongoing sense of enthusiasm about our publishing customers and the potential for their industry. We consider it great validation and acknowledgment of our work at Attributor, including the Fair Syndication Consortium’s progress towards an ad-supported syndication platform, that Outsell, a leading research and advisory firm focused on the publishing and information industries, recently named Attributor to its ’30 to Watch’ list in their report, “Information Industry Outlook 2010: A New Dawn, New Day, New Decade.”The report highlights companies who they believe will have an important impact on the publishing- and information-provider community.

We couldn’t agree more with Outsell’s perspective about a new year and new opportunities, as stated in their report: “Those who fly and grow are those who prepared for a new dawn, a new day and new decade. Those who have not kept up will continue to face pressures and a proverbial sunset – more challenge, and in some cases demise.”

As Outsell explains, success in the new decade will depend on creating and fostering positive, successful and engaging experiences. We look forward to working with our customers to foster this perspective and build on the successes of 2009.
