I believe, has come. Unless some
sort of divine
intervention
(winning the
lottery maybe)
(Continued from page 2)
read full articles. Yes there are still
those of us who like to read but most
people now want their information in
tweets, videos and 2 second bites and
this explains the popularity of the
social media sites like Twitter,
Facebook and YouTube where they can
get just that!
this will be the last issue of The
Universal Cavalier to be published. I
thank those of you who have
supported the magazine through the
years.
As a digital magazine publisher I have
access to stats which you can’t get
with a print magazine. They tell me
which pages are the most popular, how
long a person is on a certain page and
so on. Now I am a fairly quick reader
and I have to say that about 90% of
The Universal Cavalier’s readership
must be speed readers because the
average time they spend on an article
page is about 30 seconds which leads
me to the conclusion that no one
actually reads the articles, just looks at
the pictures. On the flip side the most
popular pages and where the most
time is spent in the ones with videos.
The time spent is usually roughly the
time of the video …. I hate the
thought of doing all that work to
research and write articles only to find
no one actually reads them!
The time freed up will give me more
time to work on other projects and to
develop my business Rhiannon
Promotions which is now moving into
the fields of digital graphics and video
production. The field of digital art
holds great fascination for me and I’ve
even started what I hope will be
eventually an active community of
digital animal artists and
photographers. I am even attempting
to learn 3D imaging and animation
(and having great fun at it!) I’d say
perhaps you’ll even get to see my
attempts in a later issue of The
Universal Cavalier but instead you’ll
have to check on my Rhiannon
Promotions website or perhaps my
page at AllDigitalCreatures.com
Well in the words of Bill Beutel "Good
night, good luck, and be well."
I have been publishing The Universal
Cavalier for 7 years and it was the 1st
dog magazine to be published in true
digital format. Back then people
laughed at the idea and now it is
considered common place. It has been
a very hard decision to make to
“euthanize” the magazine but the time,
