EJ readers weigh in with opinions, suggestions

"Just keep it coming" pretty much sums up most of the comments thus far in response to our annual Reader Survey. "Thank you so much for having the E-Journal, the best Go publication in English, this is my main source of information for the game." Sixty-seven percent "always" read the EJ and the top three most popular sections are game commentaries, news updates and reviews. Facebook is by far the most popular social media (62%), with Twitter at 27% and, significantly, nearly a quarter of our readership (23%) don't use any social media at all. Some of the specific suggestions thus far: "Produce a series on beginner lever; intermediate and advanced best Go practices." "It might be nice to have news from different clubs around the country." "I miss the teaching articles you used to publish, like the popular column, 'What's Wrong with That Move?'" Here are some of the responses to the question about whether we should change the name of the E-Journal to the American Go Journal: "The 'E-' made sense in the beginning but seems silly at this point. Unfortunately, 'Journal' sounds old-fashioned and stuffy also." "(E-Journal) identifies it as being on-line and up-to-date informationally-oriented." "I guess the 'E' in the name is kind of outdated, but I don't really care. You can name it the kitty go journal and I still would read it whole." Click here to let us know what you think!
