Check out Blogger and podcaster magazine. Cover star is Robert Scoble, formerly of Microsoft. To publish a magazine about this makes sense, I guess, given the appeal of self-publishing via blog or pod. The magazine should connect with enthusiasts of all kinds; magazines can be better than the web for helping a novice to figure stuff out: for example I still can’t fix a bug in my Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 and that’s after reading the explanation from a Microsoft MVP!

Does Olive Software’s online magazine format work, though? I know it needs a higher resolution than my LCD display. My sense is that the page turning format is great for paper but a bit frustrating for use on a screen. [thanks to Cyrille Chaudoit] …
