Wired Magazine Takes a Cue From the Web

Recently, Wired Magazine ran a promotion with Xerox in which they allowed subscribers to upload a photo that would then appear on the cover of a special personalized issue in July. Of course, I had to take advantage of the offer so as soon as I had a chance, I cropped a nice picture of my son covered in Spaghetti Os and uploaded it.

We talk a lot about the web as the only future of information exchange but it will be a while before print is essentially out. In the meantime, there have been some pretty amazing developments in print technology that allow for some exciting new applications. Wired has taken the soul of MySpace (Personalization) and applied the same concept to a printed magazine.
