I've been an InfoWorld reader for about 10 years, although I stopped receiving the print version a couple of years ago when I realized the issues were piling up and I could more easily focus my reading via the various digital delivery options. Still, the InfoWorld web site has become one of those that I love to hate, plagued by an abundance of advertisements of ever-increasing invasiveness. It now reminds me of one of the competitor sites that I have refused to visit for more than a year, Sys-Con (publisher of Java Developer's Journal). I still read several of the daily/weekly InfoWorld newsletters and usually visit the accompanying web pages, but it will not take much more of the ad-focused format changes to push me over the edge and cease using InfoWorld as a resource altogether. Sad, because the content is usually of top quality. It’s sad to see.
