Everyone has read different versions of the same story of how publications are starting wonder their next steps now that more and more people are turning to the Internet. This weekend I realized that my INC magazine subscription was expiring and that I needed to renew. I do subscribe to their RSS feed, so do I really need to renew the subscription?

Even though I am someone who is obsessed with emerging technologies, loves to blog, and is constantly on the Net, I am going to renew my subscription. I love lounging in my favorite chair and flipping the pages of one of the magazines I read every month. It’s also the sense of excitement when I see that one of them has come in the mail. I love reading the articles, seeing the images, agreeing/disagreeing with the Letters to the Editor, and even staring at the ads that grace its pages.

I am definitely not ready to give that up. Shorter articles and blurps should be put on the magazine’s ezine, while longer articles should definitely remain in the print version. I know that my eyes get tired if I am reading too long on the computer, so I’d prefer to have it in paper.

Answer? Yes, I am renewing my subscription and picking up a couple while doing it.
