Blogging… Magazine?

I received an e-mail invitation to this moments a couple hours ago, and my first thought was to wonder if the people behind it actually knew anything about blogging, or if is was another “Blog Carnival” scenario. 

That is, not really understanding blogging, or things like carnivals, but seeing an apparent way to piggyback on blogging for some easy cash.  Or like already famed people supplementing their empires with instant-audience blogs, then holding themselves forth as blogging experts, even if they require an editor to be readable.

Just the very idea, too… a magazine for blogging?  And podcasting.  Which could mean it’s a magazine for podcasting that gives a wink and a nod to podcasting’s blog roots.

Anyway, seeing the lack of detail on the subscription page, I looked at the domain of the sender’s e-mail and had my thoughts reinforced, though at least they appear professional.  Well, unless you click on the podcasting link and find they are so new to the topic that you get an “Index of /” page.  Heh.

I might sign up regardless, as I am intrigued at the same time I am skeptical.  Free is good, after all.  Getting in a directory might mean a hit or two extra here and there.

I just couldn’t help those first thoughts, and can’t help that amused skepticism.
