Launched in 1995 by Carey Earle, Tom Livaccari and Dan Pelson, Word Magazine created original stories, interviews, games, applications, music, interactive objects and art, and community spaces.
Word published new content daily, and each story was treated as a unique interface design experiment.
[2] Word's editorial team was originally led by Vibe magazine founding editor Jonathan Van Meter and creative director Jaime Levy.
Marisa Bowe took over as editor-in-chief[3] prior to the site's June 1995 launch and Yoshi Sodeoka became Creative Director in early 1996.
[5] In 2000, Streeter, Bowe, Murphy, Rose Kernochan, and John Bowe co-edited a book of interviews, "Gig: Americans Talk About Their Jobs," [6] inspired by Studs Terkel's Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do.
