would you like to see digital running magazines?

Recently, I subscribed to American Photo – a terrific photography magazine. Here’s a sample of the excellent work you’ll see there.

There is a difference with my AP subscription – it’s digital. The mag is delivered to my computer courtesy Zinio.com

Zinio is cool. Anyone with a 17? or larger monitor will love it. The quality of the magazines is excellent and the Zinio reader (a free download) is really neat – the program makes it look like you are turning the page of a real magazine. How great is that? An environmentally friendly subscription that you keep in prestine condition on your hard drive forever.

There’s only one problem – zinio doesn’t currently have any running magazines.

Do you think we can change that? There have been examples of bloggers affecting change on the internet – do you think we can convince zinio to add a running magazine to their subscription list?

For my part, I sent an email to Running Times Magazine because they are already affiliated with Zinio – they just haven’t gotten on the digital bandwagon yet. You can do the same here.

I’ve also contacted Zinio with the same request. Here’s their link.

What do you think? Can we make this happen?

Hey! It’s Chris Brogan’s birthday and he likes people to know about so I’m doing my part to spread the word.

What? You’ve never been to Chris’s place? Are you mental? Get over there right now because Chris is simply one of my favorite reads. His stuff is all about self-improvement and creativity. He’s a terrific writer and someone I’d definitely like to meet one day.

What are you waiting for? Get over there right now!

(Chris, I don’t need a prize for doing this. It’s my pleasure)
