online avnews ... what's it good for?
....and what would you like to see there.
it just seems to me that maybe the excitement and spark is gone. AVweb was probably the first and surely the best, but now it's one of many. Zoom's online rag is daily, but his history makes all of the content questionable. EAA and AOPA are a bit too much spin for my taste. I'm going to write a letter to AVweb and want your input. What are these services good for these days and how do you think they could serve us better? |

It used to make great reading, not any more. Now AOPA has maybe one article
per day, Avweb has nothing much and what it does have is all reprints from the magazines I already receive. The only on that is holding my interest is www.aero-news.net Jon "virga" wrote in message ... maybe three hours of silence answers my question... nobody really cares virga wrote: ...and what would you like to see there. it just seems to me that maybe the excitement and spark is gone.

Not for nothing, but what magazines are you getting that are putting out
informed in depth analysis of aviation events two days after they happen? AVweb's stuff might be a day later than aero-news, but the news appears much better researched, cleaner, well-written and to the point and the content seems much more focussed.. All I ever see on aero-news is long lumbering messy stories about everything and nothing at all, mixed with straight press releases, and faa accident reports and zoomisms. It's all over the place. ... Is that what you like about it? jon wrote: It used to make great reading, not any more.

when you did read it, what did you like about it?
and when you stopped, why? Bob Noel wrote: In article , "jon" wrote: It used to make great reading, not any more.

Let me expand on my previous post.
I used to get the avweb news via e-mail and liked it allot. I guess I stopped getting it via e-mail and forgot to go to the web site to read it every so often. I just checked out the avweb newswire and it looks as good as I remembered it. I will re subscribe.. The other avweb content that I was talking about is the content taken from IFR, ifr refresher, aviation safety, and their other publications. It just duplicates what I already get in the magazines.

After they went to HTML emails, they then splashed ads all over the place instead of keeping them seperate (the format didn't clearly distinquish ads from articles). The last straw was their attitude in an email exchange following their format change (it wasn't the main reason, it just clinched it). -- Bob Noel |
