Comments on: Blodget returns to Wall Street http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/10/05/blodget-returns-to-wall-street/ A slice of lime in the soda Thu, 23 May 2013 05:23:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: zacharycohen http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/10/05/blodget-returns-to-wall-street/comment-page-1/#comment-31561 zacharycohen Thu, 06 Oct 2011 22:22:07 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/?p=10347#comment-31561 Whenever I accidentally click a link to TBI I immediately click off. They have mastered what currently works, but when what currently works shifts, as it always does in online media, I am guessing they'll be out in the cold again. crap content = crap company no matter how much money they raise. It's a horrible user experience reading SAI. And who cares what traders read or don't read. They are neanderthals convinced they are homo erectus. I spent years on a variety of trading desks.

And Blodget knows just how to appeal to that audience." One of your finer turns of phrase, Salmon. “Wall Street has always been a place of short memories and short attention spans.

The barrier to entry is so low that the supply of places to click on will expand until the price of advertising drops to a point that won't sustain these businesses. TBI is not a breath of fresh air, it's just recycling the same stench found elsewhere on the net. The aggregators that rely on sensationalism to generate clicks are going to be roadkill.
