I think a lot of magazines will be doing that soon

yeah.. family friend is the president at "Future Publishing" and he says magazines are being outdated and its tough. he has a nice lineup of mags too.. PC Gamer, Guitar World, Maximum PC, and a bunch more..

bump this up

I like getting my magazines each month and would not want to give them up to stare at a computer screen even more then I already do.

yeah i have a subscription too, they need to perfect the online version, isnt exactly fun zooming in

tick tick tick... that is the sound of the clock counting down on the magazine era.

Long lead times (often 3 or 4 months) and a very eco-unfriendly format (relatively expensive paper for the most part) pretty much doom the format. Why wait months to read a story when you can get it online now?

Magazines may survive a bunch longer if they work out the need for long lead times so that they are relevant again.

prefer paper the laptop is a pain in the ass to bring in the shitter

ditto.. I've got a sub.

Personally if I ran a mag I would have been putting it on the web a long as time ago. I'd set it up like a portal site and show the exact same content on the web as in the mag.

Then just sell advertising. Why magazine companies don't do this, is beyond me.
