Good doing well

Good Magazine is doing a good job of blending print, film and other media in a single brand — GOOD — that could hardly be better (morally speaking, at least). I'd heard quite a bit about GOOD before it went live, and was frankly a bit skeptical. This isn't the best time to get into a print business, or to bear the costs of fanning that out into other media. But I like what Good's doing. This feature on going vegan for example, includes a YouTube video, produced by Good. At YouTube, you see a pile of other Good-produced videos.

The above video on Internet Porn lets you learn something, exercize your libido (kink preference withstanding) and, well, feel like you're doing good at the same time.

Wonder how many video views turn into magazine subscriptions? I just know of one.
