Hi and thanks for your interest in Nodalities Magazine; I hope you will subscribe so we can let you have each issue as it comes out.
Your comment on the appropriateness of a print version is certainly a valid one, and it's something we considered long and hard.
Our Nodalities blog (http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/) is regularly updated, and I also blog on the topic for ZDNet at http://blogs.zdnet.com/semantic-web/ . Many of our staff have their own blogs that are routinely relevant to the topic, too... and we also publish regular podcasts at http://www.talis.com/platform/podcasts/
Within this context of widely available digital content, we felt that there *was* a place for a print version of Nodalities Magazine, with identical content to its online counterpart at http://www.talis.com/nodalities/.
I am writing from Beijing Airport, on my way home from this year's World Wide Web conference. This is a pretty connected bunch of people, but they still appreciated the ability of myself and my colleagues to follow up conversations and introductions with printed material. Even today, there is *a* place for printed matter. It reaches different people than might follow blogs and podcasts, and it also proves useful - even for those who read some of the material elsewhere - to have something to skim through on the plane, the train, or in moments of downtime at their desk.
The print form will not supersede its online version; but we felt - and this week has validated that feeling - that there was value in a print run too.
