Publish2 is a content-sharing company meant to perform a role similar to traditional syndication networks.
Publish2’s first iteration was aimed at helping journalists share content online more easily by aggregating links and posts and creating widgets for news websites. It was similar to social bookmarking sites like Digg and Delicious, though oriented toward journalists. The company was founded in 2007 by Robert Young and Scott Karp and received $2.75 million in funding from Velocity Interactive Group in 2008.
It bought the journalism social network Wired Journalists in 2009.
