Cirkla Notes

I just love the way the internet has changed our lives. Earlier this week, I was interviewing Tim Miejan of the Edge Magazine and we were talking about his new Digital Edge. Tim has been the editor of the Edge Magazine for years and has recently taken ownership of the magazine, along with Cathy Jacobsen.  I have long been a reader of the Edge, so this was a real privilege for me to have an opportunity to chat with him about the direction of the magazine.

With the popularity of Facebook and Twitter, MySpace and Digg… it seems that everyone is hopping on the internet bandwagon. Now, you can even read magazines online! What’s fun is that you can even turn the pages with real sounds effects! You’ve just got to try it if you haven’t already done so! (Just click on the big image to the left to check it out… just don’t forget to come back and read the rest of this post!) They even have it so that you can click on the ads to go directly to the website of the advertiser! How cool is that?

What I really like about what Tim and Cathy are doing is that they are really reaching out to the community in a very innovative way by offering the magazine THREE ways – first, digitally through the Digital Edge; second, through the paper version that can be found around the Upper Midwest; and thirdly, you can interact with the authors and even submit your own articles directly through the website. I really can’t decide which I like best. Good thing I don’t have to!
