Canadian start-up Yourmagz.com launched the closed beta version of its SaaS content distribution platform today. You can sign up to view the site.

The platform - which can be described as a hybrid between social network platform Ning and web document sharing service Scribd - specializes in distributing publishers’ content across various websites, social networks, and mobile devices.

Each virtual magazine can have members who can comment and upload their own photos and videos.
