I have been waiting for this to happen. A Belkin exec disavows fake user review offers on Mechanical Turk allegedly posted by an employee. It still amazes me the amount of people who offer work in promoting blogs and making comments. Yes, I understand the concept of keeping up ratings and traffic but not at the expense of integrity. It does not surprise me that someone was caught using this creative marketing technique. Let’s hope word will spread that consumers will not accept this kind of behavior from businesses.

Get smart about skills today for tomorrow’s jobs offers direction for those of us faced with decisions regarding continuing education. I’m floundering between database certification and project management. I’m also trying to tune in to a successful area for Ph.D. study. Part of me says I should just get something in the health care field but my real interests lie in cognitive neuroscience paired with artificial intelligence. At least I can rest assured that my time spent earning an MBA will not be wasted as business and IT converge.
What are your plans for the future?
