The lines between content and readers, brands and customers, old media and new media are blurring.
The Pulse is an experiment in tearing down some of the walls.
Here readers are more integrated with the topic and the content.
Data about their participation is instantly available.
Users are invited to play a larger role in the conversation.
Advertisers don’t simply have to “buy” an ad, they can !nd a way to interact with prospects around a topic that matters to those users.
