At last I can pull back the curtain on the big project that’s kept me at the office days, nights and weekends for the last few months!

Last week, we launched GigaOM Pro, the GigaOM Network’s subscription-only market research offering. I’ve written dozens of descriptions of the service — for the web site; for emails to project partners, friends and colleagues; and for press releases — but I think the site’s awesome developer, Mark Jaquith, has the most digestible description:

GigaOM Pro is a WordPress/BuddyPress-powered premium research membership site, focused on four initial verticals: Mobile, Green IT, Infrastructure, and the Connected Consumer. A network of independent analysts provide in-depth research papers and research notes, which subscribers can view on the site or download as PDF documents. GigaOM Network contributors provide “long view” posts — topic-focused long form posts. And each of the topic verticals has a curator who provides weekly updates on the topic, as well as a constant stream of curated links to relevant external stories. Subscribers can access all the content, comment on the content, have a profile on the site, and send messages to Analysts, Contributors, Curators, or other subscribers using the BuddyPress messaging system.
