A print magazine for bloggers?

April 26, 2007
By Billy Dennis

Via Bloggers’ Blog: Print Magazine for Bloggers and Podcasters Launches. Yep, that’s just what I’m looking for, months-old news and insight into the culture and technology of online journalism. The added bonus is that I have to get in my car and drive to North friggin Peoria to a big-box bookstore in hopes of finding this magazine. Because right now, I’m actually being forced to get the information both instantaneously AND free on my home computer at any one of a dozen or so sites I visit at my own convenience. The horror, the horror.

Feh.

I shouldn’t be surprised. Newspapers and magazines have spent the last decade marketing their dead-tree publications to people who don’t like to read newspapers.

    it might work if the blogger print magazine had in-depth Offline Only exclusive interviews, stories, photos, each issue focusing on a super blogger or a blog software or or or…

    Billy: What’s with the new layout? Am I going color blind- it’s pretty cool to tell the truth.

    The layout is nice, but now the chatroom is broken.

    Hey, Bill, when you’re supporting yourself on this “blog thing,” let me know. Then I might be inclined to hear your theory on how newspaper and magazines are counterintuitive. Let’s not forget newspapers and magazines are still making money, albeit less than in the past. Just because the powers that be are making budget cuts (ie, cutting staff), doesn’t mean they’re losing money, they’re just not maintaining the ridiculous profit margins.

    I am hardly supporting myself with the blog thing. But I am making Ameren-Cilco bill money, well at least I was before the rate hike.

    What is counterintiutive about THIS magazine is that the people who would be interested in reading it no doubt are able to get all the news and information they want about blogging and podcasting by looking for it ONLINE. Wh in the world would i spend money on this thing?

    Maybe so you can learn a few tricks to make more than Ameren-Cilco bill money. Maybe you can make enough to move back to Peoria and cover the trash fee also! :)
