Perhaps with a salt shaker to hand as well. Easton, it’s a bit garbage in/garbage out, isn’t it? :)

They tend to lump blogs together in ways that reduce the quality of the results. So, they may say that 6 percent of Fortune 500 companies are blogging, when what that may mean is that according to one wiki, 29 of those 500 companies have public-facing official blogs that deal mainly with their products, services or progress. Also, some of those 29 companies have multiple official public-facing corporate blogs, while some have only one. Then again, some Fortune 500 companies use internal blogs instead of or in addition to external blogs. Then again, the Fortune 500 isn't necessarily representative of the world as a whole. Then again ... ad nauseum. All to illustrate your point. We - those who report on business topics - need laser-sharp focus and hi-def clarity in our thinking and writing. And with blogs enabling the wildfire-fast spread of ideas, we need to make sure our own posts are as accurate as possible.

We'll see if JupiterKagan truly changes its policies and procedures. I guess it's a waiting game at this point. Best, Fard Neville:
