And a few suggestions to the folks who run SI‘s very helpful Vault.
I’m no techie, but I can’t believe there’s not a better way to present the stories to the user. Too many pages to get through for the major pieces. I know click-throughs = more $, but there’s not reason a majore feature story has to be divided into eight pages.
Also, why no photos? This is SI‘s own stuff, so I wouldn’t imagine there would be copyright issues. Tose illustrations would sure go a long way to improve the visual aesthetics.
Actually, why not just digitize the whole thing? Who wouldn’t love to see the old adds from the 60s and 70s to go along with the stories for pop culture context? What were we smoking, drinking, driving, wearing? Other publications do it, why not you?
