    Please allow me to get all spammy for a moment and mention my old friend Nathan Shumate's Lovecraftian inspired ARKHAM TALES, easily one of the better webzines out there.

    [www.arkhamtales.com]

    Yes, he pays, but he's a serious stickler for QUALITY fiction. #pubilshing

    @Golem100: It's one of the most professional-looking that you'll run across. After a year, I think Nathan might be considering letting it die. The interest in the latest issue is down, but I can attest that that isn't due to a lack of quality.

    If you know of anyone who mind dig it, please pass the word along. #pubilshing

    Scalzi's blog post was a fascinating read. I can't believe that rates have been the same for 90 years! I'm glad I gave up on that whole writing thing and went into computers. Yeesh. #pubilshing

    If anyone can save dystopian fiction, John Joseph Adams can. He's consistently produced my favorite anthologies. Hot damn, a website too!

    So... by the time I've finished reading this article, it's already 100 years old, yah? /lame lightspeed joke #publishing

    "A logic named Joe". Murray Leinster, 1946. About a home logic (computer) connected to other logics in other homes through phone-like lines to share data (servers on the Internet) who becomes a problem when it begins to correlate separate pieces of information in dangerous forms (AskJeeves meets the Anarchist Cookbook).

    Nineteen-fucking-forty-SIX!

    James Schmitz predicted the internet and the lap top in a Telzy story I reread not long ago. It was of course not the point of the story, it was just a passing notion, a way for his character to get information. Kinda like what we're doing now.

    @ArthurByronCover: So did Murray Leinster in "A Logic Named Joe", in a sense. Unless we go back to "The Machine Stops", I think Leinster takes the pennant.

    sadly, I'd never heard of it so making sure people know that it exists is probably the hardest part.
    For whatever reason although I really don't see much value in newspapers I do love magazines. I guess as long as I don't want to take electronics into the bathroom I'll subscribe to magazines...

    Well, being in the process of actually running a magazine and trying to get it off the ground, hearing about another magazine going under is depressing. We're trying to make our magazine web-based as well, but as a downloadable PDF, with pages that have been designed to be read onscreen but retaining magazine-ness (whatever that may be). We're having all the same problems and a million more - in fact we were just discussing how we'd picked pretty much the hardest way possible, in the worst economic climate ever to start a magazine. Having full-time jobs and no money doesn't help either. You can see it here: www.givingcity.com, under the 'get the new issue' tab - no I'm not just pimping my wares, I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback. There's no sign-up and it's free.

    @LeonieHygieia: Here are some suggestions: make your magazine available in any new media format you can. PDFs through an RSS feeder. Put it on Kindle. Make a podcast.
