If anything they made money by selling people who read words to advertisers... they played the middle man. And if there is one thing that the internet and digital communication has proven to be quite adept at it is cutting out that middle man.

In the future there will be many types of reading experiences. Most will be digital some will be on dead trees. Some digital experiences will be community based development and some not. In the future not all publishing will be in a magazine format. What is the magazine Format? That would be edited, paginated, designed and dated. And if it doesn’t have these attributes, it’s not a magazine. It is….. something else… a web page, a blog, a mlog, a random compilation of thoughts, information and data. <br><br>I think in the future there will be plenty of magazines. Somewhat like the format that has taken 600 years to perfect. The only thing we are missing today for excellent execution is the right mechanical platform. It is coming, but it is not here yet. And we agree, there needs to be new business plans with the new models of distribution. Michael:
