Mine Personally Fails

Yesterday we wrote about Time Inc.'s attempt at creating a personal magazine called Mine. Today we have an update on the story. According to Folio, Time Inc. is already running into problems with personalizing content. An e-mail went out early this morning to all Beta testers warning that their personal content might not be just what they ordered. Time Inc. Media Group president Wayne Powers, warned subscribers that a "computer error" may have affected the content in the first issue. "It's possible that this issue did not contain the combination of magazine content you selected," wrote Powers. Computer errors!? With only 31,000 subscribers? That seems like an epic fail whale to me. Unfortunately, Powerâ€™s e-mail is neither as cute nor as witty as Twitterâ€™s fail whale. Check out the e-mail after the jump. Thank you for subscribing to mine magazine. We want to let you know that a computer error may have affected the first issue you received this week. It's possible that this issue did not contain the combination of magazine content you selected. Please know that the problem has been resolved, and that each of your subsequent issues will reflect the exact content you originally requested. In appreciation of your support, we have extended your five-issue subscription to include a sixth free issue of mine. You can also access real-time mine content through your smartphone device at http://mine.mwap.at. We apologize for the inconvenience and, again, thank you for being among the very first to experience mine. Best regards, Wayne Powers President, Time Inc. Media Group
