    Benioff's press junkets

    Marc BenioffMarc Benioff's still schmoozing reporters. When the publicity-mad web billionaire is not having them detained, of course. Wall Street Journal reporters say that, having accused one of the newspaper's meekest reporters of being a stalker, he's now trying to make up with golfing invitations to Paul Steiger, the Journal's managing editor. Last week, in New York, a dinner discussion on venture philanthropy, a suitably profligate freebie for the journalists invited, to which he'd invited Matthew Bishop, from The Economist, Blaise Zerega, managing editor of Portfolio, Conde Nast's forthcoming business magazine, and others.
