Save a Tree: “Subscribe” to Lonny Magazine
Posted on 01. Dec, 2009 by kchristieh in cool websites
I love curling up with a good magazine or newspaper, but I hate that they use so much paper. On the other hand, I’m happy to support good writers and photographers, and am devoted to the free flow of information.
Perhaps the answer to this dilemma is more magazines like Lonny Magazine. This home decor / lifestyle magazine can only be found on the web, at lonnymag.com. Here’s their mission statement:
“In a time when shelter publications are turning their last pages…
Our mission is to reopen the doors to accessible design. By embracing an online platform we provide inspiration at the click of a finger, directly connecting our readers to their favorite products and resources. Our freedom from page limits means that we can share more content in each issue, delivering an intimate look into the way people really live.”
Because it didn’t have to be printed, Lonny Magazine was produced at a far lower cost than a traditional magazine, but I don’t think anything was lost in the process. In fact, I had lots of fun flipping the pages and mousing over various pictures to see if they linked to another website. If you see something you like in the magazine, chances are you can click to a place to either purchase it or learn more about it.
I wish more magazines had an online edition this robust and interactive.
