It's all there Ian, what more do you want?


But surely there's an online equivalent of a more "mature" men's magazine

out there?


Do UK men want it? Does the very existence of the niche mean we're not up

for it?


Personally I prefer the push approach these days. I get my news headlines by

email and click on the links to get the story direct from the particular

news site. I don't really have time to visit each news site individually and

I never really wander around the rest of a news site once I've read an

article, hence issues of the FT's redesign meant nowt to me as I dip

straight in to the story I'm interested in. In the instance of content for

men I would rather get something like the "contents" page emailed to me that

draws content from various sources. I can't imagine I would constantly

return to a men's portal.


Am I just getting lazy in my old age?
