Carolyn, I, too, hope that SI is doing something about Pareto's examples of self serving Press Releases disguised as news. After being sucked in a few times, I learned to ignore them. It is equally important that SI timely provide Press Releases constituting real news. Invariably, SI is many minutes, sometimes more than an hour, behind (unnamed) similar sites, even for items from Reuters. These delays should not be allowed to continue if SI is to retain its reputation as the premier finance site on the web.

Re: News feeds and SI in Europe I would say that it is of strategic importance for GNET to become a partner in this deal: siliconinvestor.com They can multiply the number of SI members and integrate further with Reuters and Multex. Multex now has a lousy bulletin board and they could do the same as DNB some days ago, make SI their board: multex.multexinvestor.com It is fun to predict these types of relationship, it is even more fun to predict who's going to pay who. With DNB and Hasbro they are going to pay GNET. What is the power position of GNET related to Multex. Multex needs a board, SI is the top board on the net. Multex has the research. I would say GNET would get all the Multex research for free and a license fee for "seamlessly integrating" the SI technology into the Multex site. The same may apply for the news feeds from Reuters, which is a global news leader, owner of Instinet and of many other financial information resources. But the most important part is to add large numbers of quality posters to SI and to become global. Therefor, getting onto this European site is strategic and may cost money. This is the year to become big, strong and global. Regards, Pareto
