Shomaging Artforum Magazine
Yesterday in what may be the first instance of "showmaging" I sat in Barnes and Noble and took pictures of articles in Artform Magazine. I love Artforum and used to buy it regularly, but I can't imagine such passive consumption now.
Now I want to be involved and if content isn't on my pad or laptop it doesn't exist. Yes I prefer books, but books are a bigger commitment.

* Gamify your consumption so your customer’s takes on your published material is rewarded and prized.
* Think each page as the beginning of a DIGITAL conversation (ads tool.
* Don’t accept ads that are boring just because the pay well.
