How fitting after my post this morning. Playboy launched i.playboy,a subscription service that includes access to their archives. Sorry bunnies,but this isn't going to be the revenue source someone sold you on. Samir Husni, summed it up best, `Do I need it? Do I want it? Is it relevant to me? The Answer "NO".
Jellinek is confident that people will pay the $8 per month or $60 per year for a service that's “meant to appeal to that sense of collective nostalgia and affinity.” He says the website is “the world's sexiest time machine” and “an anthology of cool” for a magazine he calls “the Mount Rushmore of literary greatness.”
Jellinek acknowledges that the whole thing pretty much an experiment aimed at a niche audience, but he also says the service has value because it offers an exceptional window into America’s perverted past.
