I stumbled upon this magazine at a coffee shop not far from my house. Not knowing what it was about I peeled back the pages and started to read about something I love – the internet. I was reading an article about Shaq and his new website Dunk.net....
Pros: Timely articles, metrics - find out what other publications will be talking about next. Cons: Heavy advertising.
I was quite surprised to find so few reviews of The Industry Standard on epinions.com – after all, this is the magazine of record for the Internet industry, of which epinions.com is very much a part of. But perhaps I shouldn’t be so shocked.

I used to be an Internet analyst that read a half-dozen Internet magazines each week as part of an effort to stay on top of the Internet industry. I had heard that a new magazine called The Industry Standard wanted to be a cross between the Economist...
Pros: Nice material, real information, not just newswires Cons: Web version is cluttered, many topics are not discussed
We are all particularly selective when it comes to the bathroom literature. Those precious moment can hardly be spared with something not worth reading or something dull and boring. Instead, we choose the information and entertainment while we spend the...

Pros: Online Media Grok still useful Cons: Deterioration in past year, identify crisis
We are all aware that the days of 300-page Internet- and tech-company ad-filled issues are over for this industry, and that being the case, The Industry Standard doesn't know what to do with itself any more. With recent articles looking at things like...
Pros: Crisp writing; timely articles; witty; incisive; great website with additional materials Cons: Too much information to grok in one sitting
The thing about this new information economy we're all hearing about and experiencing -- whether society likes it or not -- is the sheer volume of information generated in observation and analysis of it. We're glutted with information, and yet...
Pros: Great content Cons: Delivery of information is not as timely as email newsletter
First, let me say that I think that the content in The Industry Standard is great. My problem is that the content provided by the Standard's website is just as good and much more timely. I tried the trial subscription to the paper copy of the Standard...
Pros: Packed with current internet info Cons: High priced, but available for free
I run a small content site, and I am always looking for new tools to use on my site.

Pros: news on the Internet economy Cons: its thick!
I love getting this magazine each week. It reminds me of a Business Week but it only covers Internet companies and business news about the Internet. Working for a .com myself its a valuable news resource.
