  1. i like magazines better but that is just becuase they are easier to use. you dont have to go looking for something. there is a table of contence, and you can easly see whats in front of you when your holding it in your hands. in webzines, they do have pretty good advertising, but not a lot of people will see these because not many people will know about this webzine.

  2. I think traditional magazines are better than webzines because traditional ones are more handy. Although the ad's are affective, it is a little confusing to find everything. Interactive articles have the same amount of apeal.

  3. Well i really like magazine because they are physically in my hand, i can cut things. Web magazines can be overwhelming to me, but they aren't so different, they are just on the computer, but id rather have a physical mag. cos i just like it better <3 but being able to click and interact keeps my attention and saves paper.

  5. I think interactive articles are more appealing than webzines because not a lot of people have computers or internet so they cant look at webzines. Plus you can keep the magazine for forever, the webzine article you might not be able to get a hold of again.

  6. I think webzines are more convenient than traditional ones, especially for teenagers and housewives. The ads are affective since I hear a lot of people talking about it, and also interactive articles are more appealing.

  7. I think the webzines are more interesting then regular magazines because you have the choice of putting videos 's or interactive advertisments which get peoples attention.

  8. i like traditional magazines more because they are in hand and actual content that is more compelling to me. the ads are affective when they are eye-catching and interactive articles may appear more appealing but less specific of certain magazines.

  9. I definitely enjoy and find more appealing webzines, thats also because they are more convenient then paper magazines. Theyre on the computer, that makes it 10x more convenient. I love love love the interactive articles. Again theres the computer part, and people use it more often then looking at a magazine.
