This is an interesting idea – AOL has just opened up Blogging Stocks which is a collection of blogs, each about a single stock. There is one blogger for each ticker symbol, and that blogger is responsible for following what is going on with the company and writing about it. Right now they just have a list of eight companies, but they plan to expand it.
Heather Green makes some interesting points about conflict of interest and possible price manipulation, but I’m willing to give them a shot, and I think it’s a great idea. I think it will be an awesome way to follow the companies we all care about and for a hybrid stock-geek like me, it’s going to be a lot of fun commenting and interacting with someone who is a) passionate and b) knowledgeable about the stock in question. My only concern now is who is going to cover Adobe and when is the company going to be added to the list.
