CoMagz is a citizen media website which provides communities and groups their own online magazines—the CoMagz "CoMagazines".
The content of a CoMagazine is created by users and rated by users. Any user can submit hot news, articles, and recommended links—or even write a column.

Goal

CoMagz wants to be your favorite place on the web for reading and writing about items that interest you.

Voting

Users rate submitted content, so the best content is shown first. This system enables you to find the information that is most interesting to users like you.

Community

CoMagz is also a community of people with shared interests. All users who choose to register with CoMagz are automatically given their own page in which they can put information about themselves. Readers of a CoMagazine can contact each other, discuss ideas, exchange information, and more.

Registering is optional. You don't need to register to read a CoMagazine.

Finding a CoMagazine

To find a CoMagazine of interest, click the CoMagz logo at the top left of the screen. This takes you to the CoMagz homepage, which has a list of the CoMagz CoMagazines.
