Infoworld's reputation

... is still tarnished. Look at the ridiculous way products are 'categorized'. Ms. Reed has obviously paid for her results, but she could not have paid well. The charade is too obvious. She chose to publish the results while she is on vacation, once again highlighting the contempt she feels for Infoworld readers. I have little doubt that if Ms. Reed responds at all to the criticism in this forum her responses will be actively insulting. That was the way she 'dealt' with the last "Reader's Choice" fiasco.

I once considered Infoworld to be a resource, but I cannot release the magazine into our office. Ms. Reed is wielding her editorial club to sustain her advertising agenda. I cannot risk the more gullable among our managers mistaking data presented in Infoworld as impartial.

It is a shame. A once fine publication has been reduced to the level of light entertainment (restroom reading). In our office, at least, Infoworld will be withheld from potential readers until this type of idiocy is ended. I sincerely hope that advertisers that patronize realize that Ms. Reed is alienating the people that make purchasing decisions. I hope they do something about it.
