The State Of Magazine Websites
December 2, 2006
PaidContent.org points to some research, The State Of Magazine Websites.
(via Buzzmachine) The Bivings Group, which earlier this year did a comprehensive review of newspaper websites, has done it again with magazine websites: it researched the websites of the top 50 most circulated magazines in the U.S. and evaluated them.
Among the findings:
— RSS feeds: 48 per cent of magazine websites.
— Message boards/forums: 46 per cent
— 38 per cent require registration to view all of the site’s content.
— 38 per cent of the magazines offer at least one reporter blog.
— Video is an offering on 34 per cent of websites.
— Just 14 per cent of websites use podcasts and bookmarking; eight percent allow comments on articles; and six per cent use tags.
I want to know about the 52% of websites who have not implemeneted RSS yet. Hello, McFly!
