Magazines And The Best Of Intentions

Wicasta — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:06:43 +0000

We’ve recently been convinced to try our hands at magazine publishing. Several of our clients have expressed desires to publish information that benefits various niche markets, and asked for our assistance in doing so. While we are not actually getting into the print business, we have long been thrilled by the prospects presented by Hewlett-Packard’s relatively new MagCloud service, which prints magazines on demand. The gist of this service is that an budding publisher with the right skill set could put together a magazine which appeals to a niche market and make it available through the MagCloud service. Anyone who orders a copy of the resulting magazine will have it custom printed for them. In short, the MagCloud service eliminates the need for long print runs and warehousing of merchandise. The magazine does not exist until someone orders it, and then it is printed and mailed to them.

The most exciting prospect, in our opinion, where MagCloud is concerned is the option to make the magazine available for download to the growing iPad market. At the moment HP does not allow publishers to charge for the iPad download, but it should be obvious what a powerful marketing tool this could be.

This is what we’ve been recommending to our clients. As per their requests, we have agreed to allow these magazines to be published under the auspices of Windhaven Network for continuity. Our creative input will be “hands-off” for the most part. As ever, our goal here is to provide the tools necessary for our community of clients and artists to reach their prospective audiences. This is a large step in that direction.

A New Focus

Wicasta — Thu, 13 May 2010 16:02:30 +0000

Throughout our history, Windhaven Network’s focus has been solely on providing a framework upon which our associates could build their projects, providing access to the Internet in the form of Web Presence, E-Mail, SQL database capabilities, Social Engineering and Marketing. As the needs of our clients have evolved, however, we’re found our role in the process evolving, as well.

It’s with that in mind that Windhaven Network has decided to get our feet wet in Print Publishing to better assist our Writer friends, as well as establish a Record Label to help our favorite Musical Artists better reach the national stage. We are retaining our Diabolical Products division, and will continue to market those products which our customers simply can’t love without. But our focus will be expanding into exciting new territory.

We’ll post more information on these projects as they develop. In the meantime we’ll keep on doing that which we do so well.

We are very happy to welcome Catdaddy Pirates to our roster of supported domains. We looked forward to being a part of the band’s invasion of the Tampa Bay area of Florida, and hope to work with them for many years to come as they expand onto the national American and then the global stage. We believe the band’s unofficial motto sums it up best. “First we take Florida. Then we take Berlin”.

Regroup & Redeploy

Wicasta — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:42:50 +0000

There hasn’t been a lot to report on the Windhaven Network web site. We’ve been quietly working on some diabolical products which we hope to introduce to the general public in 2010, and that is our primary focus at the moment.
If you’ve attempted to visit this web site portal during the last several months, you’ve no doubt noticed that our presence has been lacking. Quite frankly, we had some security scares with our main server (we suspect Chinese nationals), and shut down our Web presence as a precaution.
Rest assured that at no point were our ICBM’s ever compromised. Base security was maintained and the integrity of the facilities was never in question. We will continue to work toward our goal of global domination and will, of course, keep you apprised of developments.
