"World In 100 Words" Site Goes Belly Up
Brijit was one of numerous "web 2.0" concepts that were promising, but the paying-community concept cannot work everywhere. Almost all sites based on paying community to produce content failed during the years, and that trend is now continued with the shutdown of Brijit.
Brijit had a concept of "The World in 100 words", covering various aspects of society, from political and economy news around the world to reviews of TV shows and sport events. It was also a neat way to see what’s going on in various media around the globe while you don’t have access to physical paper.
During its existence, Brijit gathered significant community, but at the end of the day, wasn’t able to pay them all and folded. For every 100-word article, teh site paid $5. The owners of the site hope to re-launch the site sometime in future.
