24/7 Wall Street

Hi All,

Just came across a well organized, popular and reputable finance/money/investing website called 24/7 Wall Street.  Click here to visit the site. http://247wallst.com/

So, what is 24/7 Wall Street you ask?  As usual, good question.  Basically the site is a financial news and opinion website that delivers content on the web. Many of the articles are republished on other major websites including: MSN Money, Yahoo! Finance, MarketWatch, Time.com, USAToday, and The Huffington Post.

The company publishes over 30 articles per day and has readers throughout North America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

At the heart of the site are links to Business, Technology, Investing, the Economy and Special Reports.  Click any of the links above to go to that particular section. 

Under the Business heading readers can find other links to article dealing with Aerospace/Defense, Autos, Banking/Finance, Commodities/Metals, Consumer Products, Energy, Healthcare, Industrials, Infrastucture, Media, Retail and Services.

Once you click on a topic, you'll find current articles related to it.  Articles include the date/time when it was posted, the title,  the author of the article, and of course, the article itself.  Readers can print or email the article.  Articles can also be Tweeted on Twitter and posted to Tumblr.

Of course there is a site search at the top right side of each page.  Results appear on the left side of the page after a search is completed.  Two or three sentences of the relevant article appear on the results side of the page - along with the date of the post and a link to the read the full story.

Articles on the site are relatively fresh and are generally easy to read.  You're not going to find the latest news on a particular company, but you will find helpful, additional information on specific industries and/or companies when you look for the information. 

Finally, on the 'About Us' page users can have a free daily newsletter emailed to them.  Click here for that link.  All in all a pretty helpful site.  And there is virtually no advertising that can be so annoying on other finance/money/investing websites. 

Enjoy the site!

Stu

It's All Good (News)

Hi All,

Have you ever watched the news on tv (CNN, ABC, CBS or NBC or any other news outlet) or listened to the radio news and been completely disgusted with all the crime, negative news, corruption, depressing stories of war, death and more?

Well...today is your lucky day, because todays' blog entry is all about good news.  The site is called AmazingNews.org and bills itself as presenting 'positively pleasant news'.  Awwww...that it sweet.  And an interesting (and contrarian) take on the news treadmill that traditional media outlets put forth.

Click on this link to find just exactly what AmazingNews is all about!

Click on the following links to find more Amazing News or Amazing Quotes or Amazing Videos.  

The main news link - Amazing News has some sub-categories that are very, very interesting in their own right: Charity, Environment, Featured News, Health, Science & Technology and Society & Entertainment are the major sub-categories.

Readers can subscribe to AmazingNews.org by clicking on this link and scrolling down the page.  The email sign-up box is on the right side of the screen toward the bottom of the page.

Finally, users can search for articles anywhere on the site.  There is a dialog box where users can input search terms (i.e. puppies, sunshine, babies, food, or whatever you want to search for) and articles are displayed.


Enjoy the site and the good news!

Regards,
