Caught in the Nett - Reading Offline To Improve Online

Fishing For Information
One magazine that has always captured my techno-heart is Nett.
Featuring stories that are business and web related (two of my smooches), Nett is a reasonably local, Australian-based mag brought to us by domain giant Netregistry.

Why Do I Read It?
While there are many articles available on the web (indeed, a select few of the Nett ones are also available online!) I enjoy sitting down in the evening and leafing through some shiny paper pages. The things it talks about (eg. SEO, web design, online business skills, new government policies) are relevant to my line of work and are presented in a mostly unbiased and informative way.

There may also be the very slight chance that I desire to read magazines and can't justify paying for the gossip ones (which I can read for free, at least four months later in any waiting room) but enjoy paying to read something that appears "work related". What can I say, I enjoy my work!

What's In It For You?
I think Nett presents itself in easy to understand terms and is written by likable everyday people. I am not saying it is for the faint-hearted; they do deal with some wonderfully complex new concepts ('Cloud Computing'). Certainly worth a look for those interested in understanding more about the Wonderful World Web.

Go on - get caught in the Nett; you might find it refreshing!
