what a poorly executed result of an even poorer idea..
a regular printed magazine like that would make you flip pages at random skipping annoying ads.. while here you need to wait to see them load and then be disappointed to see some bloody uninteresting ads.
internet is internet!!! don't simulate a 'physical' magazine please!!
that's just plain silly.

I emailed the editor to let her know of my 'apprehension' towards the magazine and it's chances of success.
It appears I "misunderstand the spirit of the magazine". Because it's target audience "are not designer downloader’s", (whatever that means.) They "target a less sophisticated market of pure broadband streamers and it works!"
F Magazine "has been highly praised by publications such as Blueprint & Creative Review." Apparently.
I read Creative Review every month and I can't remember seeing anything about it.
I don't think they've got a fuggin' clue what they're talking about.

There was an article in Creative Review about web magazines. I think it was in the June issue. They mentioned them but also Thisisamagazine and 4 others. I haven't got it with me but yes they were mentioned.

This is the editors response.
"Thank you for your frank message.
Criticism is stimulating and always very positive.
It appears that you misunderstand the spirit of the magazine..., which instead has been highly praised by publications such as Blueprint & Creative Review.
Fmagazine’s audience are not designer downloader’s... we target a less sophisticated market of pure broadband streamers and it works!
The site you recommended is a complete replica of a print design publication and doesn’t take advantage at all of the multimedia capabilities of digital press.
As a streamer I obtain a flat experience from this... still...
Keep up with your good work and please do keep in touch.
Chrissie Adams
Editor."

a few years back... someone said we'd have paper that was made of pixels... I think they've got it the wrong way round!
