The March+April 2008 issue of interactions magazine has emerged from the printer and should be appearing in subscribers' mailboxes soon.
As subscribers and other recipients have seen from the January+February 2008 issue, the magazine now has a very different look and feel, and content that reflects a new vision. And for the first time since its inception in 1994, interactions has a website (http://interactions.acm.org/), one via which people can access interactions articles (from the current issue as well as all past issues), access content not available in the print magazine, and interact about the magazine's contents. Early reaction has been very positive. For example, Mark Vanderbeekun has written in Putting People First (http://www.experientia.com/blog/designing-in-hostile-territory/): "Interactions Magazine seems to be heading into an exciting direction under its new editors-in-chief Richard Anderson and Jon Kolko. The new byline ('experience - people - technology') is already a mission statement in itself, especially since the magazine is published by ACM, which stands for 'Association for Computing Machinery'." And in http://www.experientia.com/blog/interactions-magazine-first-impressions/ "This morning I received a print copy of Interactions Magazine with the mail. Wow. It looks, feels, and reads exactly like a magazine for our profession should be. Why did no one think of this before?" "I strongly suggest the readers of this blog to subscribe to the magazine, if you haven't already done so. It's only 50 USD." Should you be interested in subscribing to interactions, writing for it, advertising in it, learning about our vision for it, learning about the regular contributors to it, etc., you'll find information of relevance on the new website. Alternatively, feel free to send us an email at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and let us know how you would like this magazine to grow as a reflection of our burgeoning professional industry.
