Looks like the cardinal rule of do not mix surfers and webmasters is no longer a possibility
I mean we all knew GFY was more about fucking around than any serious kind of business anyway, and that way to many fakers and surfers are there to distill through.
But what now, ??? you can bet after a spot on CNN, and an article in the New york post, mentioning GFY that surfers and kids from everywhere ( you still only need to be 13 to register there right?) are going to be all over that board.
How can anyone expect to even be able to wade through the normal rate of 5% of useful info there now?
The odds of actually getting a business thread now have got to be completely shot
Let alone the fact that any potential advertiser will now be advertising to an even more surfer oriented base?
does smart money advertise only join pages now? and skip looking for potential webmasters ? or will that prove to be useless too?
What are your thoughts on how this will affect our industry ? do you foresee a backlash of board intrusion now?
as anyone serious about business ( or even pretending to be) will certainly be looking for a way to filter the kids better ?
What about government ? do you see them getting involved once more Kids are discovered on industry chatboards?
