2¢ Worth

Page from Flypmedia (click to enlarge)

Here’s another one from the category of learnable media.  Shared by David Weinberger, via Twitter¹ this afternoon,  Flypmedia is a slick and highly interactive magazine.  Leafing pages, as old as the technique is, still makes me yearn for the perfect e-reader device.  It just makes my laptop feel so behind the times.

But this tool goes much further with interactive content, such as the map to the right that changes red to blue before your eyes, with the click of the appropriate 2008 Democratic Candidate (see right).

There are numerous content drawers that can be drawn down and then tucked back away, and the are almost all used quite practically, without overdoing the motion.  I am especially impressed with the responsiveness of the videos that are liberally scattered throughout the publication without crowding out the text.

Another sign of things to come, folks!
