10. Why did you leave Python for AVN?
-----------------
I was at Python for 6 years. Everything I learned in this industry I learned over there. They're a great bunch of people and we'll be friends for life. Career-wise I needed a change though. That's why I started AlyTV; I was restless for something different to do. AVN made me a good offer and the freedom to choose my own adventure, so I decided what I could best do here, and am now attempting to do it! From my perspective, I saw AVN Online and Internext as pretty solid products that could serve our industry very well. However, I saw problems with the way the company was communicating with us; there was a growing chasm (by my perception) between AVN Online and it's intended audience. They were getting out of touch with the online industry, not getting involved, not playing with the other kids. I saw an opportunity (and need) to bridge that gap and slowly bring that perception back inline... Not because I'm some all-knowing arrogant asshole who thinks she has all the answers, but because I'm happy to get out and play with the other kids and find out what AVN can be doing better. It's remarkable what a difference a little communication makes! There's also something really cool about working with a tangible product again. Something you can hold in your hand, something you can smell, something you can find typos in and know that no matter how hard you try you're stuck with them forever! Yikes!
