A few days old, but pretty interesting: http://magculture.com/blog/?p=5647#comments
Looks pretty interesting. I won't dissect it for all the things, like how the ads are incorporated, but I will say this - from a production standpoint, what we'll save in printing costs we'll pay for in designers and programmers. Seriously - having to lay out articles in both vertical and horizontal positions? Ugh.

I am surely an amateur. I copy and paste from the internet when I advertise my business in my Newsletters. I am in the Flinstone age.It is true with this technology magazine writers will be like directors and musicians orchestrating their what is in in the content of their pages..I am a newbie on a shoestring budget right now.I am branding myself. Starting from scratch very small.I am only recently becoming computer savvy. But this video on the link you sent looks easy to grasp. to me. I am going to do more research about Wire Ipad. Thanks SF.

Dwell folding? http://bit.ly/cVATOm
Dwell is one of my favorite magazines - contemporary design and architecture, loved the photography, nothing to say bad about it. However, I haven't bought an issue in probably a year. Shelter mags have been dipping far before the recession hit - in a way, they were the precursor of the current problems.
Andrew Shell:
I've only picked up Dwell once or twice but it seems like a great mag. I love how the older ones are on Google Books. I wish more magazines ...MoreI've only picked up Dwell once or twice but it seems like a great mag. I love how the older ones are on Google Books. I wish more magazines would do that. It certainly can't hurt them, since I can't imagine too many magazines get a lot of money from selling back issues.

After Domino (my favorite) folded, it left a huge hole in the Interior Design Industry.
I now look at http://www.lonnymag.com/, it sort of fills the void that Domino left behind.
Ciao!

What's the biggest lesson you've had to learn professionally?
Neeraj Bhushan:

If one goes mad with the truth and starts speaking the truth, one is not liked. One cannot change any system, hence one should be part of that system!

Realizing that though we tend to think we have the logical truth in an argument, we have to learn to accept there's always different ways to view it. That and arguing only gets you so far - usually out the door.

Exact opposites, like an antithesis, yes? What a story.

How are people marrying writing styles together? Formal AP with informal columnist/blogger styles...

Some people are receptive to a more sophisticated style of writing and description while others prefer for the text to be ultra simple, fast paced and entertaining. Well, can't always manage to please everyone but I do try to limit abbreviations as Joyce mentioned below and avoid profanities. AND I always make sure I read it over for mistakes first.

I have noticed that for myself, I'm more informal when I write what I consider a personal post, as opposed to something more marketing or business-related. The informality does show up, but I do try my best to use proper grammar and spelling. I am always so embarrassed when I make a mistake, I feel like I should know better :)
