Kluster.com Reinvents the Online Newspaper, Pays Well

kluster.jpgIn another vain attempt to save the newspaper industry online, Kluster.com, a “crowd sourced decision making outfit,” will launch a community-driven newspaper later this week. The site will publish content once a day in traditional newspaper sections including politics and sports.

The site’s users will vote on which original content runs each day, as well as links to relevant articles published elsewhere. An original article that makes the cut will net the writer $150 per story, while Kluster will split advertising revenue generated by the links with those who submitted them. Money will be distributed on Mastercards. Priceless.
