I really enjoyed Dan Ronco’s latest book, Unholy Domain, it is set in the near future, and paints a bleak picture of what might happen in the aftermath of a computer virus that spreads through the Internet.

An external corporate blog is a publicly-viewable corporate blog where the company’s employees or spokespersons share their opinions. This type of corporate blog is often used to promote new services and products, to react to public criticism, or to clarify some policies.
