Vacuous humor.

Read a couple customer reviews. I wonder if any of them are from actual purchasers?

New Web Publishing Experiments

Traditional publishing model with some interesting twists (targeting a literary crowd) - began in 1998.

Interesting site and design:


New iphone subscription ($5.99 for 6 months):

  • mini-subscription to a variety of McSweeney's content
  • access to the free stuff that the website posts every day
  • every week you get a "Small Chair" update. These will be articles from the print versions of McSweeney's or The Believer or a short video from Wolphin. This weekly content is not available on the website, just in the various hard-copy versions of their publications.
I like the blend of traditional paper-bound content, print subscriptions, free online content and newer tech mobile delivery. The key will be if they can find the right balance of price points.
