Read your Magazines on Maggwire

A creative and fun way to view magazines online, Maggwire offers free viewing of a wide array of magazines. Unlike Mygazines, a similar website which faced issues with legality and received responses of anger outbursts from several publishers, Maggwire allows web surfers the ability to browse tons of articles and quickly find fascinating articles of his/her choice, and the clincher is that it’s free.

People are able to view article ratings and can pick choose from several well known magazines like Woman’s Day, Time, Business Week, Computer Shopper, Golf, Gizmag, Forbes, Entertainment, and last but not least Macworld.

Also the website features a list of top viewed magazines as well as most commented and most rated magazine articles. When internet users click on an article they are taken directly to that magazine’s official website and are able to read the full article. Viewers are also able to choose magazine articles from just about any category including Entertainment, Business, Tech, Sports, Food & Dining, Home & Garden, Lifestyle, Women’s and Men’s.

This ease in finding articles within categories of interest allows users to access articles swiftly and in no time at all, perfect for the busy college student who has to do work but at the same time wants to take a break and read some magazines. This site is definitely a convenient way to view articles. The ability to share articles through email, facebook and twitter also adds to ease of sending articles to others.

“When I was showed this website, I first though to myself ‘how the heck did I not discover this already?’,” said Kevin Kusky, a sophomore at Adelphi University. “It’s so easy to just go on the web and read magazines, and actually good magazines at that. On top of it all, it’s free.”

Adding on to the already convenient way of giving students access to articles, Maggwire also is working on an application for the iPhone.
