You mentioned you have plans for expanding internationally. Any comments on that? :-)

(I like the idea and I wouldn't mind to pay for things I read that interests me, unbundled. So you'd be welcome to sign up some Swedish papers!)

We are working on it. But we have to reach agreements with all individual publishers, which takes a lot of negotiations and time. We also need to reach 'a critical mass of publishers', before we can launch in a new country.

But as listed in the article, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the Washington post are coming. So we are beefing up our international outlet.

Does that mean you're opening up account creation for the US, when that content has come around? Or would I, as a Swede be able to create an account and read (and pay) for the US content? (I guess I'm asking about 1) Account creation 2) Geographical restrictions)

[jurre]

We try to sign publishers without any geographical restrictions, but I think it's ultimately up to them.

So that means you'll open up world-wide account creation when you have some non-dutch content available? :-)

We already support world-wide account creation by simply clicking through the "launch" page in the top right corner.

Of course, the site will still show up in Dutch, but there is an "international"[0] section where you can already read The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and soon more.

Other than "stay tuned", not really.

If you're interested, visit https://launch.blendle.com and leave your email address.

We'll let you know once we launch in Sweden :)
