30DC, Inc. announced a major MagCast upgrade and officially launched Version 3 of the MagCast Digital Publishing Platform. The feature upgrades were developed, in part, from the feedback from growing community of MagCasters, which includes 250+ live Newsstand digital magazines. One of the biggest criticisms of magazines on Newsstand has been the inability to "clip" and save items (similar to cutting out articles and pasting them in a scrapbook).

MagCast version 3 includes a new feature enabling readers to "clip" excerpts of a magazine page and share them with their friends on Facebook and Twitter using the new iOS 6 system implementation. Magazine readers can now access Facebook and Twitter by clicking a button in App while remaining in the flow of reading their MagCast, rather than having to disconnect to access these services. In addition, readers will be able to share these clips on Pinterest and Evernote.

Further, MagCast publishers will be provided greater exposure and the advantage of link building directly to their Newsstand landing page. Video sells, and believe that the ability for MagCasters to sell and promote their magazines with video will be yet another way to expand readership. This feature enables MagCasters to post a promotional video on their Newsstand landing page.
