i've been thinking about this thread.

a problem for me with avn and xbiz is they're really trying to focus on and cover 2 industries that often intersect. web stuff is a lot about marketing where a lot of the news from adult video makers is about making the videos, the stars, the directors.

and although there are a lot of webmasters who create their own content and market their own videos, they're not vivid and no one hears much about them.

i don't think the average webmasters have that much to do in business with the porn stars, porn directors - the mainstream porn dvd business at all. they read it like gossip or celeb news, but it makes avn and xbiz a lot less an industry publication for our industry.

as far as i know, we don't actually have an industry publication devoted to porn as it is marketed on the internet with articles about choosing a designer, what the latest paysite trends are, stuff like that. i DO see those topics come up sometimes, but often written by people who are not writers and are very rarely wriiten by what i'd consider experts. i mean, sure, we're all experts, but these are more editorials in that a lot of what's there is one person's opinion.

it would rock if there were either a publication for adult webmasters without having important or cover stories about all the big name dvd company business or else if a magazine came out with an entire section devoted to this part of the industry.
