No CommentsOnline publications are getting to be commonplace these days. No, im not talking about downloadable PDFs or flipbooks (though some of the listed sites below have these same features). Think of it like the magazine section on the library where you have all these mags free for your perusal — only online. Some of them let you download PDF versions for offline browsing, while others are online only and are AD laden. You still get to sift through more data with an RSS reader but these sites provide an eyecandy appeal that is not apparent with RSS. Here are sample screenshots to get you aroused and enjoy your journey to the next generation of information overload.
issuu.com
First on the list is issuu.com. With lots of visual appeal, flash and web 2.0.
scribd.com
Scribd.com has more technical articles than any on these list. CNet says there have a more robust search function too. Lots of technical articles.
Adobe eBook Library
The Adobe eBook Library is actually a software you get to install on your computer and then download the books online. It has DRM, purchasable content amongst its features.
idiomag.com
Idiomag.com has a lot of media. Artists, music videos, news, posts, comments. Generally their tagline describes it all… Idiomag is a free online music magazine – personalized just for you.
flip.com
flip.com is more for the myspace crowd. The content I noticed has lot from the blogging generations, young online hipsters expressing their creativity and thoughts. It’s like scrapbooking on steroids.
