Printed media is still having some efforts when we meet new people
in face to face at several events. When we meet new people at a booth,
we give an issue, they scan the issue, we discuss about topics in the issue,
exchange and share ideas, and involve them to expand the community.
And they may share it with their colleagues at their office
after the event. :)
That's why we still need printed media at the event.
iPad or Kindle (I really like them!) would be great channels
to reach out for readers, but I think "One size does not fit all".
