Why Writer's Market is a Waste of Money (if you didn't already know)

Oh sure, Writer's Market was all we had before the Internet, but now it's obsolete. Almost every magazine's writer's guidelines can be found online, and the writer's guidelines are what you want, not those little snippets Writer's Market give you. A quick Google search is of far more use to you than $50.00 worth of paper that loses value every single day from the date of purchase. By the time you get it many of the listings will be already worthless, after a year you would be better off tossing it. For you die hard fans of WM I suggest you start highlighting all the submissions the USPS bounces back to you ("No forwarding address") if you want to see what I mean.
