Issuu has helped us achieve this. It’s genius: an online publishing service (and creative community) that simulates the magazine-reading experience and it’s every bit as good as the real thing: feet up, cup of coffee, flipping through the pages.”
- Jo Hemmant, Floresense

I very much like Issuu, it’s like a cross between MySpace and DeviantArt but at the same time completely different to both.
