I write articles for Helium, which is really cool. This gives writers an opportunity to put their writing out there and contribute to collective knowledge. Wikipedia also affords a similiar opportunity; however, it is an encyclopedia and the writing and the anonymity of the writer reflects that. At Helium, the nature of writing is freelance and the writer has an opportunity to build their portfolio in their name.
Sometime ago, I wrote an article giving a complete guide to the iPod. While I only wrote under a thousand words, I gave all the information a user would need if they wanted to buy an iPod. Plus, my enthusiasm for the product is very evident.
Today, my article is featured on Helium’s main page. Scroll down and look for the category “Consumer Electronics.” My article is rated #1 of nine, which is a good feeling indeed. Check it out.
