Any chance for additional magazine categories?
There doesn't seem to be a good category listing for my magazine. It relates to organized crime history. Any chance you could add a "History" or "True Crime" selection?
Making use of the existing categories, like "News" and "Politics," would require a real stretch.

We don't plan to change the category list for browsing (that is a simple categorization used by the magazine industry); which is not to say we won't, but that we intended to support your needs via a different mechanism: tagging.
Our platform already supports tagging, but we still need to expose it to users (sorry, no ETA, but I hope sometime in the fall). Then a publisher will be able to tag an issue or magazine with one or more keywords, and visitors can search and browse via tags.
Any opinions on categories vs. tags?

Inappropriate?Yeah! I would love to add categories and list in multiple categories.

I think tagging is fine. I'm a little confused by your claim that there is no history category in the magazine industry. There are certainly history magazines aplenty. How are they categorized??? -
Inappropriate?That sounds great, I am sure we are all familiar with other implementations of "tagging" and it always works just fine. (like on this site)
I’m dandy

Inappropriate?Seems to me that would be a different sort of thing. A category would be more useful for browsing. A tag would be more useful for searching. But it would help.
