Too Much Fluff, Not Enough Stuff

Posted on December 15, 2007 @ 1:09 pm

I received my computer magazine in the mail today and I was excited.  I am a big computer nut and it is exciting to read about the new computers that are on the market, new components, and things I should be adding to my wish list.  I have been an avid reader of this magazine for five years now, and I just couldn’t wait to open it.

Well… I am not too happy.

You see, one of the big reasons that I love this magazine is that they had few advertisements inside.  But, this issue was different.  Seems that they needed a lot of advertising revenue so there was more advertising inside than content.

What really made me mad was a section on the best registry repair tools.  Just as I finished reading the Registry Easy review and started on the Regcure review, I noticed at the bottom of the page that it was a paid advertisement page.  I really hate pages that are designed to look like a part of the magazine when they are really advertising - talk about misleading your customer.

So, I think I will give it one more month, and if they continue to be full of more fluff than stuff, I will have to cancel my subscription.  Besides, I could always get the information off of the Internet anyway.
