Just when grass was starting to grow over the grave, Goumet Magazine’s hand comes up through the ground clutching an iPad. It seems there is life after the printed word:
Explore a new experience built on an ever-expanding collection of articles, photos, video and more about: seasonal foods, holidays and special occasions, restaurants, travel and food culture, chefs and so much more. Connect with your friends and the Gourmet community, and earn rewards for your discoveries. Gourmet Live is your reward for exploring great food and good living.
So long as it doesn’t eventually turn up in a bloody prom dress, this is good news.
There are no guarantees in this world.
I was worried this was actually an iPad app. Looks like it’s going to be available electronically.
Not quite sure how this will be a better business model than the magazine since I paid for that also, but we’ll see…
Interesting stats on the success of WIRED’s digital issue for the iPad. And, it didn’t cannibalize their print sales. I wonder how many people will pony up for the second round.
