It's a wonderful idea. Start a blog. And don't tell anyone where it is. Not necessary. Because you've hooked it up to Zinepal. So you give them the Zinepal link. What Zinepal does is suck your blog up a pipe, turn it into another file format, and email it out to your subscribers. Daily, if you like. Zinepal counts your posts, and will scoop them up once a day, or when there's more than five new ones, or whatever you set it to do.

You can set it so it'll arrive in email as a PDF at 7am, and your audience can print it off before they go to work. Or you can have Zinepal send out your stream of choice as a daily Mobipocket or ePub file, and you can read it on the phone down the pub.

Food for thought? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=190984#Comment_190984 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=190984#Comment_190984 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:47:19 -0700 3millionyears http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=190985#Comment_190985 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=190985#Comment_190985 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:50:40 -0700 moali http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=190991#Comment_190991 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=190991#Comment_190991 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 05:08:21 -0700 Alberto http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191042#Comment_191042 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191042#Comment_191042 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:18:58 -0700 alveright Thanks for the find, Warren. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191115#Comment_191115 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191115#Comment_191115 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:36:43 -0700 Jess http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191139#Comment_191139 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191139#Comment_191139 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:54:00 -0700 alveright http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191244#Comment_191244 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191244#Comment_191244 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:35:16 -0700 Brendan McGinley
There's some disparity in the collective consciousness between the web and print. Print is "real" as is web content legitimized by corporate approval or a big enough audience, so money and/or enough eyes, summarily: success legitimizes web content.

If it's "real" then it will be in print anyways. If it's ethereal, it's disposable fun that may always be there.

But this is essentially what free PDF programs and Google Groups will let you do anyway. The advantage to the content producer here is...saving time converting the web pages into standard page size? Accessibility to the reader/chance of accidental discovery?

I mean, if this is what a reader wanted, they could just be printing out your web page. So it's simply streamlining/collecting your web content, organizing it into either a portable or concrete fashion.

Wish them the best, but I don't see the major need this fills for the reader, and only to a degree, for the creator. The best use I see is their mention of "mobile readers" though even then, a lot of urban rail systems have or will soon have phone reception. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191308#Comment_191308 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191308#Comment_191308 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 05:06:57 -0700 warrenellis a lot of urban rail systems have or will soon have phone reception.


Um, what? Where do you live, that phones don't work on your trains? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191309#Comment_191309 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191309#Comment_191309 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 05:30:37 -0700 Martyn_M http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191403#Comment_191403 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191403#Comment_191403 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:43:50 -0700 hank http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191428#Comment_191428 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191428#Comment_191428 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:31:43 -0700 Brendan McGinley http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191466#Comment_191466 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191466#Comment_191466 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:47:23 -0700 oldhat
Zinepal sounds like an amazing site. I'll be investing in a sony e-reader in about a week or two and I'll be sure to download weekly/daily zines to read on the train along with books. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191488#Comment_191488 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191488#Comment_191488 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 00:55:06 -0700 Martyn_M
My plan is to strategically leave print outs of the thing in places where folk might find them - one advantage of printed media that could theoretically push more viewers to the original blog. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191565#Comment_191565 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=191565#Comment_191565 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:48:59 -0700 maljones The Wash. DC Metro only has reliable access to Verizon, I believe. (They sure as shit dont support ATT) Though that will change in the undetermined Future.

AT&T needs to work on getting service working in houses around here before they worry about the Metro. Verizon cut that deal so early that I think they may have exclusive rights for a while. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=203215#Comment_203215 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=6882&Focus=203215#Comment_203215 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:01:13 -0800 CoscomEntertainment
