Democratization of Magazines - MagCloud

Democratization of publishing continues with MagCloud, HP's new cloud solution to publishing magazines. It costs you nothing to publish a magazine on MagCloud. To buy a magazine costs 20¢ per page, plus shipping. For example, a 20-page magazine would be four bucks plus shipping. And you can make money! You set your issue price and all proceeds above the base price go to you. Remember "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." Watch the CMO of HP, Michael Mendenhall, explain the business model below. See an example of a successful fashion magazine using the tool as mentioned in the NYT here.
