There are certainly examples, such as the Toyota acceleration deaths , Nestlé palm oil , the Ford Fiesta movement , or the BP oil spill , where the subject takes on a life of its own for good (or, usually, bad). But these are few and far between; exceptions as opposed to the rule.

Given the extraordinary buffet of technology and tech-related options and alternatives available to us, it fascinates me to learn what people I know and trust use on a day-to-day basis. In this, the debut edition of What The Pros Use , I polled a group of social business and content geniuses to determine what they use to swaddle their iPads.

The war is just beginning for writers, and it may seem strange given that Demand Media is starting to bounce back from an October share slump, but it isn’t going to be fought between quality writers and content farms. Despite the frantic changes Google has been making to the search algorithm following a perceived drop in quality as churned-up content fills search results, it isn’t about the damaging effect of outsourcing assignments for the lowest possible cost or the economic effect
