Nylon Magazine + Website Changes + Cash4Gold Is It A Ripoff?

Featuring Nylon Magazine

Nylon magazine defines the culture of hip, intelligent and young women in their late teens to early college years. Each issue provides a vibrant perspective on fashion trends, music and beauty.  Discover the evolution of women's style through a magazine that captures it in the prime of our youth.

Nylon magazine gives you 10 issues of style for $9.97 or 75% off the cover price.

Guys Can Be Hip Too

Nylon is designed for women, but young intelligent men also have a sense of style. Keeping up with the trends in gadgets, apparel, films and music is not easy especially when the Internet is such a vast reservoir of conflicting opinions. That is why Nylon decided to give young men Nylon Guys. Each bi-monthly issue is a slice of contemporary cool, with a spicy side of beautiful girls.

New Website Changes

In an effort to make our website easier for you, this past week we uploaded a few new changes to the Your Account area of our website.  Your feedback is important to us, and we want to make every effort to improve your online and phone experience. There were two bigger changes made to our Renewal section and our Order History section that we hope you will find make using the site much easier. 

Renewal Management Screen

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** 2010 Update ***
Many of these updates have changed with the launch of the new website.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here we have simplified the layout and gave you two new options so that managing your renewals will be quick and painless. The first feature we added is the Renew Later option. Depending on when you login to your account, when you check this box, you will not be reminded again about the renewal of your subscription(s) both online and via the mail until 3 months before the expiration date.

We also combined a Cancel feature, so that you no longer have to bring up the other screen to make cancellations at renewal time.

Order History Screen

Based on your feedback we have resorted the order history page into two listing tables. Now the top table shows Active and Pending subscriptions. The bottom table now shows Cancelled and Expired subscriptions.

Magazine Updates

Finally we also added a special resources section to our website which you will find on far right of the main menu bar called Magazine Updates. This section was added so that you can keep up to date on any magazine subscription, account, or website changes. We will also include information to other great business resources including our blog and bi-weekly/monthly email newsletter archive.

So check back in this section from time to time to make sure you haven't missed any information about subscription frequency changes, refunds, or promotions.

I was reading a funny story on Cockeyed.com about how the writer was testing one of those crappy TV ads for trading in your "scrap" gold and jewelry for cash. Wow, guess his results were to be expected, but then again what would you expect when you blindly send your valuables off to some fly-by-night company.

With gold on everyone's mind lately...coincidentally I saw a great human interest article in National Geographic starting on page 34 of the January 2009 issue. It appears that our worldwide insatiable obsession with gold does just as much harm to people in third world countries as the diamond industry did and still does to this day. 

Not only does it have a huge environmental impact, but the damage to the human population from mercury poisoning and social unrest is both tragic and eye-opening at the same time.  I suspect that the gold market will be the next bubble to burst from rampant speculation (history tends to repeat itself). If you have some time, check this article out . I promise you'll feel more informed when you're finished.
