THE INDUSTRY STANDARD'S MEDIA GROK is not only a cool name, but an intelligent purveyor of Internet-type "market intelligence" you can have delivered to you regularly via e-mail. It's a fine survey of important tech-biz happenings, with enough analysis to be helpful, but not so much editorializing that it neglects to give out important facts of interest to investors and others for whom the business side of the Internet is The Staff of Life.
Let's start by describing The Industry Standard itself: it bills itself as "The Magazine of the Internet Economy." It's available both in a print version and, of course, online.
It's an excellent publication that delves w-a-y deeper into 'net-related business stories than the Wall Street Journal or other generic business publications. We recommend The Industry Standard highly as reading material, either in paper or in pixels.
And then, yes, there's our hectic schedules. Would we remember to check the Web site often enough to glean what we need from it? If we subscribed to the paper version, would we actually read it?
Better we should subscribe to THE INDUSTRY STANDARD'S MEDIA GROK and get a few of the mag's major nuggets delivered to us daily, and turn to the Web site only if we have time or spot something of special interest about which we need to learn more.
