    The Most-Trafficked Financial Websites: Yahoo Continues to Lead [view article]
    I don't know how Yahoo is leading in this area. Quite frankly, they don't know whether they provide the information posted on the financial site or whether an outside firm is responsible.

    Either way, there is a wealth of inaccuracies on this site. Try someone more reputable and capable     Reply

    Memo to Print: It’s the Multiples [view article]
    Newspaper execs have had their head in the sand (and other places) for 25 years. Most top management in the industry was promoted on seniority, not productivity - or nepotism (the right last name). They keep blabbing that their readers are going to the internet - WRONG! They are going to the grave! Yes, they are dying off. Quit blaming the internet and wake up. The ad execs in the industry have no clue how to market or sell advertising. Think about this: for 20 years readership is done, but duringthe same time, their ad rates go up. Hmmm, isn't that what advertising is all about? Eyeballs? Less eyeballs, rates hould be less, but not in the holier than thou daily newspaper! In every major city its biggest employers, small businesses (less than 25 employees) are priced out of the daily newspaper - regardless of ad execs saying our TMC or "zoned" issues cover them they are drunk. They have no clue what is going on in the real world. When was the last time the VP of adv or Publisher called on a small business for advertising? It never happens. They're fat, lazy and counting the daystil they can retire and hope their retirement plan is still active. They price their online web sites to the point you need a PhD to figure it out - most are way overpriced/valued by the newspaper. They just don't get it. Never will, never will change. So hold on to your union news rooms, hold on to your old fossil ways of doing business, I hope to see you in the soup lines! I for one will not cry for you. Reply

    It is fascinating to see the traffic to these sites! I would love to see the top traffic and time/person for a set of very targeted financial websites, such as commodity news. Reply

    Will Interactive Data Survive at SEC Without Chris Cox? [view article]
    So 100,000 people are taking spreadsheet data and putting into documents to be filed and another 100,000 people are taking the documents and building spreadsheets with links back to the source. Reminds me of when every company had to hire data entry staff to input information from customer forms.

    XBRL is a bear but there has to be some kind of solution. The current process is slow, expensive and prone to error.     Reply

    Congrats to Herb Greenberg - Starting Equity Research Firm [view article]
    At least a poster child for bad journalism (i.e. cooking negative stories about specially targetted companies all day that were told to him by his hedgefund friends and masters) stops pretending being a jourmalist any more. or so i hope at least.
    Now Greenberg can directly provide his "independent"... bashing "research ". Not much will change for him, though. His naked short selling friends (uh, oh, naked short selling doesn't even exits, right Herb? Too bad for you, that even the SEC regards it as a huge problem by now) will call him up as usual telling him the stories as they need them to destroy ever more companies with fasle allegations and cooked-up "research".

    Rising Ad Blocker Use Poses Risk to Web Content/Ad Stocks [view article]
    One day I was surfing a large social networking site that displayed some ads that were offensive to me. I sent an email to the company capturing the URL of the ad (as I best knew how). I got a reply to the effect of, "Please install AdBlocker and click on such and such to capture the URL and send it to us so that we can remove this ad from our system." Well honestly I really didn't even know such a tool even existed. But it seemed like a great answer to my problem. Now this is coming from the guy as I'm sure most of you, that didn't like a lot of annoying pop-ups and probably you even have used a pop-up blocker at some point in time. But here's the deal. Pop-ups 99% of the time are useful for me. So what do I do? The one built in Firefox, Google Toolbar and elsewhere I disable (one of the first things I do). Because they aren't that annoying and I don't visit sites that have the really awful ones. So here is what is going to happen. The average user isn't going to know a ad blocker exists and may only find out about it as things get really annoying/repulsive. As online advertising becomes less effective that type of advertising will disappear and people will not install those plugins as much. The market will re-right it's self. Honestly text ads from Google don't bother me. I click on them occasionally if I think the advertiser has what I'm looking for. But don't be doing awful things with advertising or I'll retaliate... even if it means not visiting that site anymore. Might be considered stealing but it isn't any more stealing this having a pop-up blocker (which I venture to say that most informed people that know about this and have been on the web have used at one point or another in their life). I don't use one now though because the market has righted it's self with this problem. Yeah, Orbitz, last I checked had pop-ups but they weren't annoying and I ant' planning on blocking them. Reply

    If this trend would accelerate, one possible explanation why people
    change their media habits and consumption might be have to do
    with this (in editor & publisher):
    Where Was Media When Sub-Prime Disaster Unfolded?
    If we were long on the edge of "disaster" with a "financial nuclear winter" waiting in the wings, why were American news consumers among the last to know?
    "...A New York Times columnist even admitted that experts and advocates first warned them in 2001 that predatory lending practices were devastating poor neighborhoods but the issue was not covered in any depth for five years. ...
    ...the (NY) Times business section ... and the Washington Post
    ... stories explained that the downfall was sparked by the use of overly complex securities designed not to be understood. ..."
    www.editorandpublisher...

    (Now: who on earth needs papers that manage not to understand
    on the highest (media) level; ironically speaking: some sort of "electrically lit barbarians" ?)     Reply

    Newspapers continue to turn off half of their potential readers with unprofessional, biased reporting and editing. When will they get the memo? Reply

    Just a continuing migration from print-based to web-based information delivery systems. The faster the old-line publishers beef up their web content, the faster they will be able to offset ad revenue losses in print with web-based click-to-pay revenue streams. Another opportunity for Google to exploit. Reply
