My Little Corner Of The World

Whoa, McSwy’s does a subscription-based iPhone app of exclusive content:

We hereby announce the debut of the Small Chair, a weekly sampler from all branches of the McSweeney’s family. One week you might receive a story from the upcoming Quarterly, the next week an interview from the Believer, the next a short film from a future Wholphin. Occasionally, it might be a song, an art portfolio, who knows. Early contributors will include Spike Jonze, Wells Tower, Chris Ware, and Jonathan Ames. This material will not be available online and is pretty sure to be good stuff.

$5.99 gets you the first six months of content. So long as your purchased content sticks with the app as you roll along, for later perusal (which it apparently does), this could be a very interesting thing they’ve just done.
