After FinanceTwitter’s article on “Reasons Why Oil Price might spikes to $90 and beyond” was picked up by Wall Street Journal, I was alerted via email by one of the readers that another of FinanceTwitter’s article was highlighted by another heavyweight financial portal, CNN.com. I couldn’t believe it but after checked it out, it shows how the top news providers actually paid attention to blogs around the world. It simply shows that blogging is here to stay and actually assists in presenting the independent voices of bloggers to readers. So, who says bloggers are Goblok (Indonesian slang for “stupid”) and have no value?
Anyways, this post is not to boast but merely to remind the politicians, who are illiterate about the technology of internet and the valuable of opinion and information in the world of blogosphere, that in order not to make a goblok of oneself, one has to have an open-mind and embrace the presence of blogging.
Although the latest article by CNN world business that highlighted FinanceTwitter’s article was released today, the article sphered under its blog section was posted about 7 days ago by FinanceTwitter. Of course I might be dreaming to think of the possibility that CNN might one day publish articles written by FinanceTwitter, but I’ll still keep my fingers cross. Furthermore news providers (not Malaysia, mind you) have recognized the increasing influence of bloggers in publishing the latest hot topics or happenings not only with accuracy but with speed comparable with them, if not better.
For the time being, FinanceTwitter is happy to know its articles are recognized and covered within CNN’s own blogosphere. Of course appreciation should be extended to regular and loyal FinanceTwitter’s readers, that’s you, and for that thank you for your continuous support.
