What always astounds me about the Internet is the speed with which it can respond to all things new. Meet Digital Americana, the “first” literary magazine made for the Apple iPad. That’s pretty crafty, getting to the head of that line before the iPad is even available. They’re accepting submissions if you want to get in on the newness and firstness and such. In the past year, I’ve seen literary magazines for cellphones, Twitter, the Kindle and on and on and on. To simply create a magazine for readers feels kind of old-fashioned. I like old-fashioned.
