Euroalert.net as a case study

We want all of you to be part of a small but significant achievement for Euroalert.net, which is also due to its community, in other words, to all of you.

A few months ago, the particular and innovative features held by Euroalert.net, made us being invited to describe them and contribute a chapter for a book about Web 2.0 business models. The book has now been published by US publisher Springer under the title Web 2.0: The Business Model, which has been made up with different contributions from prestigious researchers from universities and companies worldwide.

Euroalert.net is the case study for chapter 6 entitled "Doing business by selling free services", where some of the business models which have emerged in the Internet's Web 2.0 era are characterized. Euroalert.net mixes their characteristics in order to offer you every day free and updated contents about the European Union, namely, Calls for proposals to fund projects, EU Programmes and initiatives, EU News and Public Procurement opportunities. If you can read in Spanish you will also find out a little bit more about the book in the blog Open Economy.

This a shared success from all Euroalert.net community, so... many thanks to all of you for making it possible!!!
