Remember anything at Forbes•com/sites is paid content, not journalism. These articles are often wrong (as first quote shows) and have an agenda (as in second quote).

“Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website”

Google is still terrible tho.

@aardrian This isn't strictly true anymore, you have to check the byline. "Forbes Contributor", "Senior Contributor", etc. are all outside authors without significant editorial review. "Forbes Staff" are professional journalists with editorial review. Both end up on /sites pages now.

@anticomposite Are you saying things under /sites written by “Forbes Staff” is possible journalism?

Or are you saying that _in addition_ to what I said, Forbes articles *not* under /sites may also be questionable based on the byline?

@aardrian It used to be that all "Contributors" were under /sites/ and staff weren't. This is no longer the case, staff articles are now also published under /sites/.

@anticomposite Ah. Good to know.

Which, IMO, suggests staff articles should be treated with the same wariness.
