YouTube Founders Prepare ‘Zeen’ Magazine

It looks like YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen have a new service called “Zeen” designed to let users “discover and create beautiful magazines” and it is coming soon.

Blog Fusible spotted a teaser page for the site earlier today, at zeen.com. The page features a box that lets visitors reserve a username; links to Zeen’s Twitter and Facebook pages; and links to a page of job listings and a privacy policy.

Hurley said he and Chen were “dabbling with new ideas” for a start-up, adding only that they were looking at what might be done with the “basic components that every Web site needs to get off the ground,” and that another idea had to do with indexing videos, as Cnet stated.
