Microsoft Gets Into eNews Business
April 29, 2006
Via Dave Winer, I learn that Microsoft is getting into the newspaper facsimile business. This is a space now occupied by folks like Zinio and Newsstand. Zinio and Newsstand have had modest success. Will Microsoft enjoy more simply because they are Microsoft? The reader being built right into Vista helps of course, but the functionality will have to be attractive and useful. I wonder if a demo is available out there…
UPDATE: Jeff Jarvis is unimpressed. I left a comment over there.
UPDATE: Jarvis’s post has a number of excellent comments, and led me to a great new (for me) publishing blog, Hammorati. Make that two new blogs, as I missed the personal blog of Rex Hammock.
