Web User

From the moment I first got on the internet back in 1996 I have bought so many PC and Internet magazines when I'm out and about. Years ago I would usually buy the more expensive £4.99 magazines such as Computer Active, etc simply for the free disk on the front, which I always thought would be useful to have, but most of the time it remained on the front cover... never used. Only to then open the magazine to find it full of adverts and useless articles. Then one day in WH Smiths I saw a brand new magazine called Web User, which was advertised as being the first all Internet magazine at the time. I wasn't all that interested at first until I saw the price of ...  Read the complete review

If I’m honest, I don’t usually do magazines. I always think that those endless rows of glossies that you see adorning the shelves of WH Smith are just a license to print money. There’s usually everything from magazines for puppet enthusiasts to the riveting “Crochet Monthly” and sometimes the “Bank of England” weekly, which may *well* be a license to print money – who knows? However, I’ve recently bucked the trend apart from having to forcibly buy “Mizz” for my teenage daughter (she bullies me, y'know) and the Spongebob magazine/comic for my 10-year-old son. I’ve been buying “Web User” for a few weeks now and just love it. Want to know why? Oh, don’t be like that – I’ll ...  Read the complete review

With an array of internet-based magazine publications on the market it is hard to single out one in particular. Each person has his or her own preferences. My personal preference is the fortnightly issues of Web User, which claims to be the ?UK?s best-selling internet magazine? with 67,250 readers (ABC statistics for Jan-Dec 2002). So, for me what is it that makes Web User the best of the lot? Web User offers practical and concise advice, features and reviews. It has received recognition from the ?Plain English Campaign?. At a competitive price of just 99p Web User features links to over 170 websites in each issue, plus a further 1300 are published on their ...  Read the complete review

Firstly let me say that I'm not a regular reader of this magazine...in fact, I've read it twice and both times it was a freebie copy which came through my letter box. As such, I'm not going to be offering the most informed of opinions on the subject...then again, there are reasons why I've never been interested in purchasing copies of my own so I'm going to waffle on for a few hundred words anyway... Firstly, cutting to the chase, this is a fortnightly internet magazine which you'll find just about anywhere which sells magazines once a fortnight for the very attractive price of 99p. Apparently it is the country's best selling ...  Read the complete review

I never buy magazines, well hardly ever. I think the only time i buy magazines is when i am in the magazine buying mood or for when i go on holiday. I think the only magazine i have actually bought before i started buying web user was the FHM, full of girls, girls, girls and did i mention girls. Enough of the boring sensless humour here is my review on web user the magazine. Web user is available in most supermarkets and newsagents throughout the uk. At the present time web user is priced at a very affordable 99p, let me tell you at the moment this is a trial price but i have already bought three issues. We user is a small magazine which coimes out ...  Read the complete review
