Why Flipboard Won’t Help Publishing’s Smoldering Model
Good news! Flipboard is ready to log me in via Twitter and Facebook.
It took a while because demand for the new iPad app — a visual, social reader that lays out the content that you choose and that your friends choose for you into beautiful magazine format — overwhelmed their servers when it was released

Advertising Sucks Long Live The Web
How much does an advert in Yellow Pages cost? How many enquiries would you expect to get back for that investment each day? 1? 10? 100?
What about an ad in the local newspaper or a trade publication? They don’t come cheap. When was the last time you heard an advertising salesman say: www.ezinepost.com
Create the Right Goals for Your Website
Pageviews aren’t the goal. Your goal is the goal. – Mike Powers
You have to set the right goals for your website. Otherwise, how do you know if it’s working? Your website is a reflection of your organization. Carrie Hane – SocialFish
How your old content can help with SEO
As the volume of content on the internet continues to expand at jaw-dropping rates, it’s getting harder and harder to attract an audience.
And yet, publishers and brands are investing heavily on churning out new pages. The Washington Post publishes 1,200 new content assets every day, 500 of which are articles prepared by their in-house editorial team. Across the entire web, according to estimates from Internet Live Stats, over 4.3 million blog posts go up each day. Keeping up with that kind of competition volume is a bit of a non-starter.

How the Web Became Unreadable
It’s been getting harder for me to read things on my phone and my laptop. I’ve caught myself squinting and holding the screen closer to my face. I’ve worried that my eyesight is starting to go.
These hurdles have made me grumpier over time, but what pushed me over the edge was when Google’s App Engine console — a page that, as a developer, I use daily — changed its text from legible to illegible. Text that was once crisp and dark was suddenly lightened to a pallid gray. Though age has indeed taken its toll on my eyesight, it turns out that I was suffering from a design trend. There’s a widespread movement in design circles to reduce the contrast between text and background, making type harder to read. Apple is guilty. Google is, too. So is Twitter.
