In my experience, current forms of digital magazines either (a) slavishly ape print conventions or (b) overwhelm the reader with gizmos, animation, too many links, and disjointed fragments of digital stuff.
Mag+ is an elegant model for future digital magazines that seems to overcome the weaknesses of both approaches. It’s logical, simple, but also interactive. It also looks like a perfect fit for the rumored Apple “Tablet” (now supposedly due in March 2010). Here’s an interesting video illustrating the Mag+ concept:Ideally, the design, formatting, and user interface could be adapted to existing blogging/content management systems like Wordpress or Drupal. Then we’d be in business!
