Hearst Magazine on Competition

Some drone at Hears says "Hearst brands like Good Housekeeping, Redbook and O, The Oprah Magazine compete with portal sites Yahoo and MSN"

Gee, hope he's not getting paid *much* more than $300K a year for that sort of insight.

But it is true. You want to know what Oprah thinks, do you wait for her magazine, go to her website, or just google her?  I go with google, frankly.

Now, if those websites don't have good magazines, er, vice-versa, then that is a different story.  But since they all cough up some content, is the magazine really worth $30/year more than the website?

Don't ask me, I read magazines where the internet isn't gonna be so useful (bathroom, bus, etc) so I subscribe to 25 or more.  Yes, every xmass I have a big-dump-the-magazine-binge.  I like to start the new year with a clean house.

Where was I?  Oh, yeah, magazines versus the internet.  Well, if you gotta have Oprah's opinion in her very own magazine, or gotta have the Word of Redbook, then subscribe to it.  If you just wanna know about making goats milk cheese, or whatever, then google for it and follow your instincts for a good website.

That is all.  Have a nice day, watch your head on the way out.
