Issuu

Issuu is a website where anybody can create interactive online publications for free. With a focus on instant gratification, Issuu lets people who may not have the means to publish an actual magazine get their ideas out into the world, literally an audience of millions of people. Some call Issuu a "YouTube for publications," referring to the opening up of the publishing world to the masses in the way YouTube made video-making something that anybody could do.

Issuu seems to be where publications are heading in the very near future. With the decline of using paper materials and the advent of new technology, many magazines are publishing their issues on the web in the same way Issuu allows its users to do. In addition to the technologies that magazines are using, Issuu also empowers its users with the capabilities to publish a magazine that can be read without having to download it. While allowing its users capabilities to publish a broad range of publications, Issuu lets its readers experience all kinds of magazines that they might not have bought in the first place.
