Just the right sized articles for a techie's morning routine.......2007-05-15

Title says it all. Great mag

Great information on Tech and the Internet.......2007-04-15

I have subscribed to this magazine for over four years. I like that this magazine is constantly fresh and doesn't seem to get stales. There are always great articles about what is new and upcoming in techonology, new trends on the Internet. Some magazines have a lot of filler and tend to be a vehicle for selling advertisements.

What makes Wired extra special is that they don't pander to products that they do advertising for. Unlike other computer related magazines they write about trends, and outstanding products. This leaves them more room for good reporting and less veiled advertising. They often feature articles written by famous people in techonology.

I have operated a cooking website since 1995, so I am familar with the Internet, and how it works. What I like about Wired magazine is that they constantly write about what's new and upcoming in trends for the online world, and they tend to be very on the mark with where the Internet is and where it is going.

If you are interested in techonology, and what is going on online this is the magazine for you. Wired magazine is fresh, and is free of pandering to the products they help advertise. I like that this magazine is high on content and low in advertisements. Always fresh content about new products in techonology, trends in the high tech world, and a good insight on the Internet make this magazine an excellent choice.

I used to subscribe to WIRED magazine roughly ten years ago, but stopped when the content became more gloss and less substance.

With that said, for casual nerdy readers, WIRED is a great magazine. The articles are usually very interesting and it always offers new information that wouldn't necessarily be readily available elsewhere.

The biggest problem is that technology these days evolves so rapidly that, like financial publications that purport to give advice about stock trading, as soon as the material has been published it is already outdated.

If you are interested in WIRED magazine, I would recommend instead adding the WIRED website (or Slashdot DOT org) to your internet browser's bookmark list and just checking that daily -- the content is always updated quickly and will be more relevant.... and it's free.

The allure of Wired is entirely beyond me. My problem with Wired is that it is devoid of content. In any given issue, the sum information that it provides could neatly be spread onto a low-tech 3x5 index card. Despite its pretense, Wired offers all of the stimulating substance of an issue of Tiger Beat or an episode of Mamma's Family. The magazine is far more concerned with glossy advertisements and mini-features that barely run over 200 words. If you actually want articles that delve into a subject with an expertise that is accessible without being alienating, then do not subscribe to this magazine. All in all, Wired seems to provide nothing more than a means for techno-yuppies to shop for new gadgets, and in that respect it actually does a fantastic job of mirroring the Web itself.

I have been an off and on(currently) subscriber to Wired. I love looking at all the tech toys but they leave me feeling exasperated because they cost so much.It's like someday the price will come down. Remember what DVD players cost originally and what they cost now? How about camcorders, same deal? I also enjoy the articles that are far out but mainstream by some measurement of the future oriented readership. The magazine has a good pulse on society and what drives it forward. The information is contemporarily sci-fi-chic that is probably youth oriented but old grey beards like myself still can enjoy it for it's relevance. This is great stuff to look forward to each month that you might like in your mailbox. BTW, what ever happpened to RU Cirius?
