Online magazine publisher

Previously I have talked about iPaper, a document reader format built for the Internet. Now there is new website called Issuu, which enables you to convert your documents into magazine-style online publications that can be viewed directly in a web browser. Like youtube and iPaper, the users can publish their documents, then browse through other members’ works and add their favourites to the ‘living libraries’. Furthermore, users can upload the Issu document as part of their blogs or websites. I think that at least on the surface, Issuu is offering the same service with blogs and iPaper but they are aimed to those that still prefer the magazine format. However it is a great tool for small publisher to reach global readership or for those looking for rare zines.
