If you’re looking for the latest information from high tech visionaries and influencers, don’t look at these “flogs” (fake blogs) highlighted by Network World.
The Internet presents an incredible opportunity for companies and their top executives to tell their story and share there perspectives on emerging issues but because it’s an unregulated channel, readers should be wary of accepting what you read as the gospel.

My husband’s grandmother used to say believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see. Strong counsel in this particular instance.
