"While magazine circulation is strong, there is a need for new and innovative ways to reach consumers, particularly online. Maghound is a novel approach that begins with the consumer's needs, provides them with unlimited choices, and delivers highly engaged readers to advertisers. It's an idea that will be a winner for consumers, publishers, and readers." 1

- John Squires, Executive Vice President of Time Inc., in 2008.

"There has been this major paradigm shift in the way consumers shop, pay for, and manage the services they choose. And this shift has occurred everywhere except for magazines. We still sell on a fixed-term subscription or by single copy with no innovation. And [Maghound] is hoping to change that."2

- Dave Ventresca, President, Maghound Enterprises, in 2008.
