Re: Redweek is a disappointment

[Q=katiea14] I have felt RedWeek is a disappointment, a subscription to Timesharing today is a better source of information. Good-luck![/Q] ====================================== As a subscriber to both entities, I must respectfully disagree with your conclusion. One benefit of the forum venue (whether it's Redweek or any of the several others out there) is that the forum venue allows for ongoing exchange of information and ideas (and yes, sometimes disagreements as well). A magazine published once evry two months, on the other hand, is much more one sided. It's just "here it is in print, read it" with no opportunity for interaction, correction, or questions. Moreover, there is a whole lot of advertising to weed through in order to get to the substantive and/or informative content. It's probably fair to say that, in general, TT may have a more knowledgeable and experienced reader base than Internet sites like RedWeek, but I still feel that the "interactive" nature of forums is a lot more interesting. There is no avenue for a reader of the stand alone printed page to ask any questions, offer opposing viewpoints, add material to info already presented, etc. in "real time" (if ever). You are certainly entitled to your make your own judgements, comparisons and decisions, but for $14.99 per year, I personally think that Redweek is a good resource (in spite of the occasional forum squabbles). Having subscribed to Timesharing Today for a long time, I am willing to say that it's content is usually "considerably less than impressive" and, when renewal time comes along, I likely won't even bother. Just my personal view and opinion. Your mileage may vary.
