Reuters to start financial MySpace
- Thread starter minitrade
- Start date
Quote from brocklanders:
Why doesn't Reuters work on providing a real alternative to Bloomberg instead of wasting time with this financial Myspace nonsense? I don't think it would take much to turn Reuters real-time news into serious contender if they would improve some basic things.
Apparently, super cool community website stuff is way more useful than providing tools for traders that actually are worth paying for.

Google Now Worth More Than Wal-Mart, IBM
Today Google stock crossed the $600 threshold, bringing the company's market capitalization to $190 billion and change and making the company officially more valuable than FedEx, McDonalds, Coke, Intel, IBM, and Wal-Mart, among others. Microsoft is worth more at $279 billion and Exxon Mobil is worth still more than $502 billion.
which company do you want to bet on?
Quote from brocklanders:
Well, really they need to improve coverage of economic releases. I can get the headlines of the report faster on MarketWatch than from Reuters real-time. That is sad.
Which platform do you use to access to Reuters?
Aside this, I posted a new thread about Quotecenter and Reuters unclear headlines , right today...

I get it through Quotecenter. I did a test today and MarketWatch won again. I'll check out your thread. Quotecenter is pretty decent overall but they could really make it much better with some tweaks.
Wells Fargo and DB are on SecondLife too, actually WF has now set up a separate site... interesting marketing channel to tap, pretty swish... although not the only one of the kind...Quote from minitrade:
Reuters has been quick to embrace online potential. Last year it posted one of its journalists to Second Life, where he reports on events within the virtual world. The company has sold advertising on the billboards outside its virtual headquarters within Second Life. "I would still put this strongly in the realm of experimentation but it's a nice controlled experiment that has probably paid for itself 10 times over in marketing," he said.
