Do you actually read industry related articles?
 

Do you skim them? Ignore them altogether? Read them thoroughly?

Are they really worth the time and effort to read these days? Should I find a new line of work? :glugglug

Every chance i get, it really helps some times

sure its an ever changing industry and its always good to get someone elses view.

i read them. very helpful sometimes

It depends what is in the article.

i dont read them...im interested in world news, local news, anything but industry news

dont wanna hear that im gonna have to get a real job anytime soon :)

i read them i find them fairly interesting most the time

I used to read articles on xbiz.com and pornresource.com but now i don't do it anymore, GFY is my only source of information about this bizz :)

Yes, I do. Some of them are really interesting.

I do.

yes... xbiz is my startpage for the articles :)

read them

Yeh, every once in a while I'll sit and just read industry articles for a couple of hours.

Its good to be in the know. I find KLIXX magazine to be very helpful...


:2 cents:

depends on the article, but I do read industry news as much as world news. :)

Thanks for the feedback, folks. :)

I try to read as many as possible.

Yes. I read them ;)

Im in a few, but I never read them. :)

ever since trix ended no. trix and gfy were all i read about the industry, and now i lost trix sniff sniff waaaaaa

Yeah, I read anything that comes my way. It cant hurt to look at the industry from as many perspectives as possible.

yes

I'm a skimmer.. 90% of the time its rehashing shit I know. :2 cents:

Yeah, I usually try and read any articles that I can. I find that there are alot of useful tips out there, mind you you have to skim past alot of blabbering to get to it, but it is usually worth it in the end.

I ignore them. It's usually a bunch of shit about how to optimize your files and directories and blah blah blah.

Shit Tofu, where's the love? I know you meant to say, "I find XBiz and KLIXX magazine to be very helpful..." :winkwink:

Personally, I enjoy Tala's articles :thumbsup

so true or its rehashing articles that other writers have written first :2 cents:

Thanks Stephen. :) I have two more on the way to you later this evening. :thumbsup

Oops... sorry... didn't mean to wander in here... gotta go...

I just wait for numbnuts to post about it in the 4th thread of the day and a bunch of other retards to respond to it....

Why, yes I do.

of course, we are in this to make money right ?

I always try to keep up with em

Me too.

I write a few about content in the hope it will bring some enlightenment.

Reading some has taught me a lot.

Honestly, I'm far too busy to slow down to read an article that might slant my thinking about something new.. Posting is bad enough :glugglug

It really depends on the topic. Some are really useful and others are just spam.

I rarely read any of it. Since I do mostly search engine listings and I make my own pages, industry stuff just doesnt concern me. As long as sponsors are buying signups, thats all I care about.

Same thing goes for conventions. I dont go to them because I only do business with 2 or 3 companies, I have their owners or other top contacts on ICQ. I dont trade links, build galleries, none of that stuff. I'm not attracted to content girls or porn stars, and I dont drink or party, so the conventions just dont hold much interest for me.
