Freitag.de Now Showing Blog Links From Twingly

Der Freitag - Das Meinungsmedium is the fifth German site online that connects external blog posts with its own content using the blog service Twingly Blogstream.

Links from external blogs that point to specific articles on Freitag.de now get displayed via Twingly Blogstream in direct context with the content they refer to.

"Der Freitag wants to give readers as well as the entire Freitag-Community the possibility to get gather comprehensive information regarding a certain topic, " said Caroline Drucker, Head of Marketing at Freitag.de. "The bloggers now have the opportunity to connect with each other even easier and to gain more readers from Freitag.de for their own blogs. We are very happy about the fact that we count to the first few German online-media that connect their content directly with site-external bloggers. For us, this is another way to consequently continue our concept of free publishing."

"Freitag.de is not only another German news site that decided to integrate Blogstream. They work strongly on integrating their readers, internal as well as external blogs into their publishing strategy. We are glad that they chose Twingly to support their online-strategy and that we gained another great German partner in them," says Martin Källström, CEO of Twingly. "We already previously made the experience that Blogstream can very well support the development of very young sites. It is mostly the strategy and not the size of a site that makes it or breaks it. Freitag.de from our perspective definitely pursues the right way and we will be watching their development with great interest."

Since a couple of years Twingly Blogstream is used by newspapers and online-shops throughout Europe, most of them located in Scandinavia.
