Who Does QA Work on Forbes Magazine Writers?

I arrived in Las Vegas last night for the GroupWise Advisor Summit. Unlike my trip in July, the temperature is mild compared to the 118 degrees back then. But then Tom Duff pinged me this morning and sent my internal temperature boiling. Why? Because Dan Lyons went ahead and mentioned this site indirectly in his November 14, 2005 cover story entitled "Attack of the Blogs". Instead of taking an opportunity to put together a well crafted story about business risks associated with blogs, he attacks people and their blogs without providing full contextual information. In my case he says:

"One blogger said she (Sara Radicati) was doing something shady by operating a group that helps small companies find venture funding."

First of all, he should have at least had the courtesy to mention me by name. Second, he should remember that this statement is just plain wrong, and my exchanges with him on this topic are well documented here on this site. But that would have made he him and his editor seem incompetent at best. There are pother issues raised in this article with business controls that I will address later this week. Until then, it is almost time for the Florida-Georgia game. Goooo Dawgs!
