YUDU a great online tool for publishers



I came arcoss this online publishing tool as a resource to make our newspaper easier to read and more attractive to look at. The service is called YUDU.

So far I can not find any faults in the free service and enjoy the fact that I use it as a tool to help me with existing clients and share our paper to potential clients with out sending large email files. There are some cool tolls as well that allow you to print the document, ad notes and the best part is the direct links for email and web address allow the reader to click through to get more information.

This online tool is perfect for anyone looking to create a web prescence for existing marketing materials they have that can easlily be posted online for potential customer to review. Over the next few weeks we will be reviewing the service and seeing if we can incorporate it with our soon to be newly launched web site while also seeing what other purposes it can serve.

Hi Chase, glad you like YUDU and thanks for your great post! I just wanted to make you aware that you included the wrong URL to your library by mistake... the correct one is http://beta.yudu.com/library/5017/Chase-s-Library (found if you click the 'view profile' button). The link you added was to the generic 'My Library' page - we need to look into this as it's quite confusing I know!

Are you aware that you can also embed your whole (or part) library onto your blog/website? A great feature if you want to display all your editions in a neat way!

Thanks again for your post and do let us know if you have any more feedback / ways you think we can improve the site further.
