Why must the Tag lines always be so long? Why not say "Salesforce CRM Gets Slammed". Also can you put your "Brooke's Note" at the end rather than the beginning. I would rather read the article first and then your editorial comments. You are very verbose.

You have to wonder since eMoney is owned by Fidelity, is Salesforce picking winners and losers? What is to stop them from building their own financial planning software after learning about eMoney? Who calls who for help and support? So many unknowns which implies the same tag line "call your consultant and shell out more $$$ to make it work for you"
