"There’s still no substitute for the real thing but unless you have a full collection or a penchant for flea markets, at least you can flip through virtual editions of every Life magazine between 1936 and 1972—courtesy of an expanded partnership between Time Inc. and Google"

Rex Hammock has a fascinating post about something I'll call an "insta-magazine" that was published in Australia: "So, to recap: The dust storm occurred on Wednesday. Photographers — professional and amateur — headed out into the storm and, with no organizing or pre-event planning, captured “a day in the life of a dust storm.” As people with digital tools in their hands are wont to do, photographers and observers began to upload what they were seeing and experiencing and capturing to the web. With the speed and finesse of someone who has an up-close-and-personal understanding of the “community” aspects of photo sharing (trust me on that one) and who helped to innovate much of the processes of web-based “social-media” collaborative magazine publishing, Derek put together a magazine — and has given us just one more glimpse into the potential of the magazine format."

I like the idea that the folks at Clinton Global Initiative came up with as an alternative for conference bag swag.
