The Magazine looks great, ironically in the way that great printed magazines look great. Clean, simple. And yes, you’re right, publishers’ websites are too cluttered. But I don’t think that’s a case of “trying to fit in everything we did before in a new container”. It’s because that is what they have been told is how web pages should be. They should have all these navigation tools and drop downs and floating ads, and a million things going on. Because that is what they’ve been told people expect. Most publishers are far too busy trying to catch up with the web and work out how to make money to do anything quite as daring as thinking differently…

Join the conversation. Mathew – do you know VCs interested in this area? I have a new version of Infomonkey.net ready to go based on what you have described in this post that is aimed at Local, but I’m not in a good place for raising capital.

It’s not about having defined their business in the wrong way is not to have it redefined when the time came.
Many people think that a person or a business, after it’s born must carry it’s bad characteristics as a curse until they die.
Reinvention is key but most people don’t consider the chance to reinvent themselves or their businesses.

In term of simplicity similar to The Magazine, we have used a new solution called Savory.io (see http://savory.io/) to publish a B2B magazine focused on supply chain management.

Thanks for mentioning that — Dave’s river of news is a great example.

I’m punked about Dave Winer’s River of News. @davewiner Why? Because the headlines are continuous and subheadings concise. I really don’t feel the time to navigate fluff.
