THE DAILY ANGLE
We've been busy the last few weeks putting the finishing touches on our brand new data platform and news feed and, as of today, those new features go live. Combined with the articles users like you have worked so hard on, these developments get us another step closer to being the most comprehensive, free, finance research portal on the web.
Anyway, you'll notice some big changes with the way our articles present data. Unlike other sites that simply fill your screen up with a thicket of raw numbers, the Wikinvest Data Central calls out a company's most important metrics and displays all this information graphically. We've also surfaced industry specific metrics for each company, and put all of this information in comparison with its competitors. In other words, we don't just tell you what GOOG's P/E is, we show you how it's P/E, Advertising Revenue, and Market Share stack up to those of YHOO and MSFT. This is data you can't get anywhere else, presented clearly, simply and intuitively. And as always, all of our charts and graphs are embeddable on your blog. Our news feed is unique in that stories are surfaced by company relevance, not just the appearance of a ticker. This means you won't get bombarded with fifty irrelevant headlines just because an unrelated news story mentions a stock ticker. It also means that we provide high-quality news coverage for topics other than stocks, including economic concepts like "unemployment" or commodities, like "corn". Check out our video introduction to the platform to get up to speed, or, dive right into the data pages. So far some of the most popular data pages have been AAPL, LUV, and MCD. People have already started to take notice. Check us out at TechCrunch.com and in the Wall Street Journal. As always we love hearing your feedback - tell us what you think about our new features, or how we can make them even better! Thanks, and keep contributing! |
