Way back when I started a new online magazine for ABC News.com called Take2. The idea was to
create a one-page, magazine focused each week on a single topic. It was to have multimedia and text and humor.
It only survived about 9 issues, but imagine my surprise when I checked out MSNBC today and found a new topic-based
multimedia series called, I kid you not, Take 3. The
magazine takes you to destinations like places along Route 66 and to Spiritual Destinations. It’s pop culture with a
twist of travel. They even have navigable panos.
Now, I won’t go so far to say they copied my idea. I very much doubt that. And the execution is actually quite
good. far better than we managed on our paltry budget way back when. I will say it is a rather odd coincidence. But no
matter. It is very much worth a look and my guess is that we’ll be referring to it a few more times in the future.
