DougDay.org is a new media venture from Doug Millison, a San Francisco Bay Area writer and editor. In the early 1990s, he created and edited Morph's Outpost on the Digital Frontier, an innovative magazine that helped shape the community of interactive media development pioneers (the folks who made the WWW a viable publishing and communications platform), plus the related Art Teco conference/trade show, and Daily Spectrum email newsletter. He also created and developed Blaster, the first consumer magazine for interactive media screenagers. Mr. Millison has helped to develop, write, and and edit several ground-breaking books on user experience design, editorial development, corporate journalism, and digital relationship-building using digital media, email, and the Web, and has consulted on the design of many successful corporate and commercial web sites.
