Summary sums it up.

Existing blog software gives you great tools to put up and edit your content online in a pleasant way. Yudu.com and the likes let you manage a magazine by importing documents and media. Some specific sites have an online magazine, and invite users to join. What is invented here is a GENERAL COLLABORATIVE ONLINE MAGAZINE site, that allows anyone to create magazines, and invite people to join as correspondents and editors.

Create your own subreddit (with optional domain name) http://www.reddit.com/reddits/create

Can you compare this http://www.reddit.c...ExpiredPatents/new/
with the blog in the link? [pashute, Sep 01 2010]

Found one, and looks like it's what I was looking for http://www.openzine....aspx?IssueID=12301
But wasn't trivial. Should I delete this? [pashute, Sep 01 2010]

I believe Wikia has a feature that allows you to compile a "magazine" from wiki articles and other elements.

This could be done on Newsvine (MSNBC, yech), by creating a group and restricting membership to your chosen authors.

What's the difference between this idea and existing multi-editor, multi-contributor blogs like salon, gawker, or, for that matter, slashdot?
-- jutta, Aug 31 2010


OK, looking up salon, gawker, forthatmatter and slashdot.

Gawker: Several online magazines on set topics (Gossip from New York, Hollywood and some other places). - I want a site that lets ME or YOU open a new "Gawker" on a totally different topic, like - "Abandoned Inventions" or the "Expired Patents Magazine" (which is currently a blog: ExpiredPatents . blogspot.com)

Salon: Same as Gawker but about the Arts. So not this idea.

Slashdot: One interface with many news items categorized. You cannot open your own "Magazine Look" as you would for a blog, and you can't collaborate. You cannot decide on staff, because the categories are real ones. A magazine on the other hand would have any name, and inside decide its: Looks, Staff, Categories, Content, Subscription methods, and Subscriber lists.

Forthatmatter.com: A search directory for sciences. Nothing to do with magazines or blogs... Just joking on the last one (for that matter).
