Internet & Networking Tired of getting up from your desk to fax a document? Have you ever wondered why your company's call center maintains wall-sized desks of fax machines? Employees at many large organizations are asking the same questions. Fortunately, so is Biscom, Inc. While there are a few companies providing enterprise fax solutions, Biscom, in this author's opinion, stands out as the market leader.

This IS a commercial, whether acceptable or not..

This is exactly the kind of text you would read in a product brochure. I agree that software should get its portion of the limelight regardless of the license but this is taking it way across the borders of responsible journalism. In fact it tramples straight over every principle a good journalist is supposed to abide by.

Now I don't know the exact policy of OSNews so maybe this kind of article is perfectly acceptable here. However I would suggest a policy change if you intend to retain your current readership.

Journalistic principles are there for a sole reason: credibility of the medium. Post more of these obviously promotional articles without any regard for the mentioned product's competitors (like Hylafax, which does much the same thing on *NIX platforms) and OSNews' credibility as an objective source for tech news will sink faster than Titanic.

This is not meant as a troll but rather a constructive comment from someone who's actually in the publication business.
