This week on nextNYers, Meghan sits down with NY-based KickApps Founder and Chairman Eric Alterman. The easiest way to describe KickApps is they provide white label social networking tools for individuals and businesses.

We’ve covered KickApps many times on CN including most recently their announcement of video monetization with Advertising.com. Also check out my behind-the-scenes interview with SVP, Michael Chin.

Music on Amie Street starts free and goes up in price up to 99 cents as more people download the songs. They are also announcing expansions with Amie Street Japan and corporate sponsorships.

Up next on the nextNYers video series is Rachel Sterne (no relation) from GroundReport. GroundReport is a NYC-based citizen journalism site with worldwide reach. I first came across GroundReport during the iPhone madness on launch. Rachel Sterne and her team were covering many of the Apple stores in NYC and the people waiting on line for hours.

GroundReport lets journalists from anywhere in the world share their stories and then share in the revenue generated from the traffic. The next piece of their business plan is to geographically target advertising and revenue sharing.

Here is Rachel’s video:
