Zinio Inside Opens 50,000 Magazines to Searching and Sharing

AuthorYoung Urban Professional

Zinio, a digital magazine service I became a fan of as I moved to go media green, just got a whole lot more useful with the addition of awesome search and social sharing capabilities.

The service, called Zinio Inside, opens up 50,000 back issues of popular magazines and newspapers from around the world to full text indexing. Once you find what you're looking for, many of these magazines archived articles can be previewed for free, with individual digital downloads available for purchase in many cases starting at 99 cents. Zinio is also offering free magazine subscription this month through their Read Green program.

Zinio Adds Searching and Sharing

Once you find what you're looking for, you can click a button to share a link either on a social network or with a friend via email. For example, this link takes you to the above AdAge story on Richard Edelman, our CEO, which I highlighted in the search above. In addition, they allow you to share it as a widget. (If you're viewing this in a feed reader you may need to click through.)

Great stuff and handy too. And although most news sites offer solid
search capes, they don't make it easy for consumers to separate sidebar
content and captions. This service does. More info is here. One more chink in the armor of tangible media. Now if they can improve their iPhone service and turn it into an application, this will get even more interesting.

Three Little Gadgets I am Thankful For

AuthorYoung Urban Professional

I am always on the lookout for little mobile gizmos/gadgets that make my life either more productive or more enjoyable. Here are three recent purchases that I am thankful for. Any of them make great stocking stuffers for your favorite geek.

My MacBook Air constantly runs hot. Even when all I am doing is running a browser for awhile, the fan kicks in - and it's loud. Targus makes a neat fold up cooling pad called Targus HeatDefense. What I like about it is that it doesn't consume any power, it's easy to fold up and it works flawlessly. Within seconds of putting it under my Air my fan speed dropped 50%. It's under $25 on Amazon.

I have a small desk at home so rather than get a big set of speakers, I found one from Alltec Lansing that does the trick. The one catch is that it runs on batteries, but the sound is amazing. I use it to stream classical music from Pandora off my iPhone. The Alltec iM-237 is under $35 on Amazon.

Finally, I have a laptop bag addiction. I can't seem to find one I like. They're either too big or too small or they hurt some part of my body. Recently, I found one that's like porridge - just right. Brenthaven makes a pair of sling bags that are under $75. They're extremely comfortable, easy to pull on and off, distribute the weight, are thin yet roomy and also offer a lot of laptop protection. My Air fits in the smaller one, though snugly. Gearlog reviewed them recently.

Happy Holidays everyone.
