Magazine review magazine
A number of times since I started Bearded, the lovely Geoff Baker has compared me to Felix Dennis (although, I hope, without the alleged murderous tendencies) and in a sense it is true, although probably only by the fact that I come up with what we’ll call unique but my mother would call idiotic ideas to resurrect the world of publishing.
I’m reminded of one such idea I had recently whenever my fellow idea developer feels like making me laugh or whenever I’m being slightly serious and assessing market reaction in Magazine Review Magazine (TM) – a magazine set up to review magazines.
Of course the idea is inane, but it has a quirk to it, probably one that would work as a blog. The idea developed into a thumbs up/thumbs down scenario so that the commuter on the move can make a quick decision of what to read before the 12:43 to Darlington puffs out of the station. A blog or a free pick up paper anyway.
So it has its good points does the idea, I’m not just an idiot, well at least I hope not…
Well? What do you think?
GARETH MAIN RETAINS (VERY) POOR MAN’S COPYRIGHT ON THIS IDEA PLEASE MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL SO I CAN TAKE SOME OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY
I think it’s a good idea! There’s some brilliant and ridiculous stuff published every month. One of the best articles I ever read was from a freebie mini magazine in London I guarantee almost no-one read. You can highlight the stuff that gets looked over, and have a pop at some of the crap that gets far too much attention!
