When you go to post a comment, the comment-entry box may inform you that you're posting to a different IT publication site. That's because IDG Enterprise publications, including CIO, Computerworld and InfoWorld, now maintain a shared comment network. The publications share some of their best articles with each other, so now we'll share the story comments too.

Reader comments you post to a story at one site will appear on the same story published at other IDG Enterprise sites. Similarly, comments you read on an article at one site may have been initially posted on another IDG Enterprise site. Wherever a given story appears on the IDG Enterprise network, all readers read and write to the same comment thread. We think this makes for a more lively discussion with a richer set of perspectives.

The IDG Enterprise network of IT publication websites that are (or will be) participating in the comment network include CIO, Computerworld, CSO, InfoWorld and Network World.
