It is true that content from the web doesn't translate that well to the magazine format, because magazines have such a long cycle and shelf life. However, we could think of this as an experiment to see how people will pick up a Facebook magazine, and then how many of those same people would follow such a magazine back to the digital format--such as a magazine website or e-zine format. And, with e-paper being developed, there may yet be a day when we will see the magazine/computer hybrid where you will open up a magazine that has interactive pages and constantly updating content. Or, just imagine buying a magazine-like device which connects to the Internet, downloads the contents of a magazine, and automatically paginates the photos, text, and ads so that you can flip through it like a real, traditional magazine.

I didn't go as far as buy a copy sadly so only got to flick through it for a few moments. The lack of website really tells is all. As does the fact that there were a whole bunch of copies still in the shop, despite it being there since December according to this article. Matt Hi Katie,

Odd from the idea right through to the execution (eg there doesn’t seem to be an associated website. You would think…). Cheers Katie Hi Matt
