Finally something for you magazine people out there to think about. started by mturro
While I hate to sound like chicken little - and though the print is dead meme is way overplayed - I had to post this quote from Steve Frye. In a sidebar in the current issue of Publishing Executive titled The State of the Printing Industry Frye drops this bomb:

An interesting video by my friends William Mallory and Jessica Licciardello made it’s way into my inbox today. It’s the video for the song “Shoes” (a catchy romp if there ever was one) off of William’s latest album I was Never Here. I
I’ve seen all good people; Good People Day 2008, an exercise in cultivating positive vibes and networked appreciation. started by mturro
God help me, I don’t like to blindly follow, but there is just something about the Vaynerchuk enthusiasm that’s hard to deny. Anyway, from the mind and heart of @garyvee comes Good People Day… a day to think about and celebrate good people. The idea is t
How magazines (the original social media) squandered their position and (almost) screwed the pooch with regard to the web. started by mturro
For what seems like centuries the magazine has been the state of the art in social media. The magazine has, more than any other medium, been a crucial element in the building of communities of specific interest. Whether that interest is wine, motorcycles, baseball, or marijuana, you can
Are magazine publishers being well served by their trade press? started by mturro
I read an article today that got me a bit peeved. The story - Profitable Web 2.0 Tactics - was the cover story for the March 2008 issue of the trade magazine Publishing Executive. In the interest of stirring debate I left a comment on the mag’s site and as of this posting […

Will evolution kill the magazine? started by mturro
Bo Sacks is a guy I have tremendous respect for and I hope his vision of the magazine industry of the future does come to pass, but I’m just not as confident as he is that publishing models won’t need to change. His assumption is that the substrate will change but our inte

Good print design is bad browser design started by mturro
Case in point: Spin Magazine has put it’s entire February issue online - without modification - as a digital magazine (Texterity seems to be the vendor used). Guess what? It is just as cumbersome, awkward, and user-hostile as most attempts at this kind of thing.
New Jersey Voter For Obama started by mturro
For the first time that I can remember I, as a New Jersey voter, will be voting in a primary that actually has teeth. It used to be that Jersey held their primary sometime in June… months after the chosen one had been anointed. NOW, thanks to the wonders of Super Tuesday, I can
Motion Advertising on the PATH started by mturro
This short clip is my second contribution to the collaborative web film project Passing By. It is taken from the PATH train that links Hoboken and Manhattan and focuses on the everybody’s favorite: the motion advertising on the tunnel wall between the 14th and 23rd street stations.
The Magazine and The Mobile Web started by mturro
According to Digg founder Kevin Rose (and bunches of others too numerous to name here) the mobile web is the next great frontier… the next great landscape of media transformation… the evolution of the revolution. Mobility is the future. Mobility is ubiquitous. And coinc
My Contribution To Passing By started by mturro

Wanting a Multidimensional Lifestream started by mturro
