their forecasts, but with some important distinctions. "I would focus less on the
absolute numbers and more on the growth," Jupiter Media Metrix analyst Ken Cassar
told the E-Commerce Times.

I wish you had contacted eMarketer before running this story, because we've already done a complete analysis of the varying projections, and even have our own number.

Who??

Geoffrey,

Why would Newsfactor check in with you before they report news?

Nice of you to analyze "varying projections," but it looks like the folks at Newsfactor have their own direct sources (like the original anaylsts), which is even better than a third-party.

The Fouker Institute as well has run a complete study and is in the process of developing a white paper.

Perhaps you should try contacting us too before you run stories.

Dear Fouker,

Are there many news organizations that contact the Fouker company before publishing news?
