Hello everyone!

It is an interesting article. Has anyone had time to follow-up on any of Ms. Byrne's stats? For example, I'm curious what are the "top 20 publications that top companies refer to most often," or the "805 other sources selected at random." This info is probably kept under lock and key by Factiva, huh?
