I restored part of the criticism section that had been removed by an anon-IP. The part I restored has as a reference the Boston Globe and seems salient to the article.

If the properly sourced material is removed without comment again, I'm just going to restore it without comment. - [[User:Aagtbdfoua|Aagtbdfoua]] 03:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC) |

Sermo → SERMO – Sermo the social network was established by one entity in 2006. In 2012, the social network was purchased. In 2014, the social network was relaunched. The article Sermo is incredibly outdated, and although that information should be retained in its entirety in the History section of the new page, the company is an entirely new entity, and most importantly is branded as SERMO, not Sermo. ref:http://www.forbes.com/sites/danmunro/2015/08/11/docs-divided-on-influence-of-scorecards-in-accepting-medicare-patients/ Vanderdoc (talk) 19:12, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
