SPD at mail@spd.org and we'll add them to the Mix.>> A Beast, Daily: According to a recent study of iPad users, Apple and Rupert Murdoch's The Daily's "content is lacking, [and] superior content is available elsewhere online for free."

>> Make Your Own App ... Free! For a limited time, iBuildApp, is ready to bring digital magazine publishing to the masses--and without charge. According to Folio, "users who want to create a digital magazine for the iPad can do so without the help of an IT team." The web-based creation tool allows users to upload images, video and content and choose a template. The magazine is then ready to be published.
>> Jihad Quarterly: al-Malahim Media, the media wing of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, recently launched Inspire, a magazine "aimed at readers living in Western countries -- who, if seduced by the argument, will be capable of putting together sophisticated [terror] plots."
