Need your opinion: Would you use this service?

    Imagine that there is a service which allows you to subscribe to new posts in your favorite forums (like this one) and blogs. You will be receiving it as a paper several times a month by regular mail. So you will be able to read it as a magazine on the train on your way to work or in a bathroom :)

    1) Would you use this?

    2) If yes what blogs or forums would you subscribe to? e.g. DP, TechCrunch, TMZ?

    Thanks a lot

    1)- Yes

    2)- DP, Warrior, ScriptsListing Marketplace, Hongkiat, TechCrunch.

    It will be great if you can add these 5 in your Service.

    No, I guess not - I don't read magazines.

    I might be interested in reading it in a flipboard style app on my iPad but I wouldn't want all that paper turning up!

    I might be interested. My eyes get tired after too much screen time...so maybe it is time to switch back to paper at that point? Or I could get a life and go outside or something.

    Anything photography related is great for me...still trying to find the best forums and blogs for that niche.

    My eyes are getting tired when I read off the computer screen or iPhone … and another thing is I don’t follow my favorite forums/blogs if I read them online, but I definitely read magazines delivered to my door.

    So.. I understand that a lot of people prefer to read things online and use iPhones. What about the rest of us who prefer to read in a comfortable chair holding paper. Are there any specific blogs, forums that could be interesting for you as a newspaper?

    Thank again

    I would probably have so many papers that it wouldn't be as good as it sounds :)

    HI mrx, interesting business idea.

    I will twist it to business men, not to internet marketers. Your market for this service could be higly effective and fast miving businessmen.

    Do a customer research on your product !!

    regards, LASSE

    Interesting idea. Don't print papers. Export PDFs instead. Let people decide what they want. If you want you can partner with some print shop and send the printout of PDF as an additional bonus. Make the service subscription-based or insert ads in those PDFs... Cheers!

    Well, from one point of view it sounds like a good service, but broadly speaking it's just a huge waste of paper, so I personally wouldn't like to use it

    If to follow this logic, all newspapers and magazines and BOOKS are waist of paper too… The next step is to get rid off TV, theater……. why do we need all this if we can use iPhone LOL?


    Why are you so concerned about paper? I don’t push you to use it.

    How many useless advertising are you receiving by mail? A lot, right? But here you will be receiving your favorite blog or forum in print. This is your choice but not spam that you receive to make you buy something.
