New Business Model for IBDeveloper Magazine

Yes, IB Developer magazine issue 4 is out yesterday. But now it's not "free" anymore. It means they have different business model for this magazine. The "free" here is mean we can read some article from that magazine for free but there is some bonus article that we must pay for it. Of course they do that because of the financial problem, until now they don't have big sponsor for this magazine. Perhaps some company in this world can help them to make the IB/FB community more bigger. You can find their site is in my links in this blog. Here is some words that I take from the IBDeveloper site

"We’ve come to realise that producing the magazine with only advertising and sponsors to support it is impossible. We’ve decided to change our business model slightly. We are going to run special proprietary editions of each issue with bonus articles. These special editions will be available in electronic (printable PDF) and paper versions. From this issue forward, the latest issue will be available only for purchase for a period—say one or two weeks from publication—and will be fully released afterwards for everyone, minus the bonus articles."
