The webloggers are each stuck in one spot, for one thing, plus we all have day jobs.<\/p>\n<p>But if we choose to, we can do exemplary work at evaluating new product releases. We&#8217;re end-users of the products we report on, so we already know what we like, what we don&#8217;t like, and what we wish were different. In our own particular case, BloodhoundBlog contributors like Brian Brady tend to go over new products in exhaustive detail, wringing out every conceivable facet and implication. We&#8217;re eager to know what the vendor <i>thinks<\/i> we&#8217;ll find in a new tool, but we&#8217;re even more avid to unearth the capabilities their software engineers had not foreseen.<\/p>\n<p>So: Watch us work.
