Critical Mob: A New Online Culture Magazine

A new online cultural magazine has appeared:

Critical Mob is a discovery site featuring the best in music, books, film, TV, and culture.  Profiles, reviews and lists are created by a dedicated and passionate crew of writers, editors, and experts in pop and sub cultures.

Launched in a beta version today, it looks like they are off to a very interesting start.  It's definitely worth browsing, and the editors are eager for feedback as they prepare to publish more content.

Electric Literature Magazine Offers Fiction in New Media

The founders of Electric Literature, a new quarterly literary magazine, seek nothing less than to revitalize the short story in the age of the short attention span. To do so, they allow readers to enjoy the magazine any way they like: on paper, Kindle, e-book, iPhone and, starting next month, as an audiobook. YouTube videos feature collaborations among their writers and visual artists and musicians. Starting next month, Rick Moody will tweet a story over three days.

This new literary magazine offers short stories in just about every electronic format available (and good ol' print-on-paper). They also produce some wonderful videos that accompany the magazine's stories.

Almost all of the content is NOT free, and they actually pay their writers. Definitely worth watching.
