You guys are generating an amazing amount of feedback on your blogs. Matt mentioned in the April Wrap-Up that there were 8.6 million comments! Comments are flying in every second of the day.
And have you ever had one of those blog posts that was good, but the real action was in the comments? The b...

If you’ve looked at your WordPress.com blog stats today, you might have noticed the charts look a little different. We’ve replaced the old proprietary chart object with Open Flash Chart, an open source alternative.  Charts now look like this:

You may have noticed that videos around here have been getting higher and higher quality.
I don’t just mean the cool content from WordPress.tv, but the video player and video/audio quality itself.
We’ve rewritten how videos work here on WordPress.com from the ground-up and taken inspiration from ...

Stats in your time zone

When we sat down at an Austin cafe in 2005 and wrote the stats system, Matt and I had no idea what we were getting into. He created the databases and drew the little smiley face while I wrote the code. We had milk and cookies. It was really cute. We were naïve!
I swear it was Matt’s idea to store ...

Whooogle?
03/08/08

When people were asked about internet success stories in the nineties (and early noughties), they would talk about random stocks such as Amazon.com, Yahoo.com, LastMinute.com and Boo.com, the once-adored online seller of clothes. But when the bubble burst around the start of the new millennium...

The Cramer Delusion
02/29/08
—
As a non-American who often looks up American finance-related sites for share ideas, I often hear of this legendary figure in the investing community, Jim Cramer. He is one of the most omnipresent financial gurus in American media. Yet, I’ve done some research on the internet, and it turns ou...

Brazil the new China???
02/12/08
—
Brazil is currently the slowest growing BRIC (Brazil Russia India China) emerging market country. This is mainly due to very restrictive regulations on setting up and operating businesses. For example, it takes 150 days to set up a business in Brazil, due to paperwork. The huge mass of Brazilian ...
Investing in Sino-American companies
02/03/08
—
When we say China, what do we think of? Do we think of Mao Zedong’s lentil soup or do we think of giant skyscrapers in Hong Kong or Shanghai? China is investing in construction projects like it was 1999 (that seems like a bad reference, don’t mention that crash again), and steel and con...
Bullish on Insurance stocks
02/03/08
—
I believe all the major American insurance companies are due for a major positive correction. Why? Their P/Es are at all time lows (The Chubb Corp is at 7.5), and at the same time their profits are staying strong, and the companies are paying out reliable dividends. Since the start of the current ...

Hi, Shane here,
I am an investing-enthusiast who regularly keeps track of the stock market and related events. I am doing well with my account at Socialpicks , and am currently the 6th most successful investor who uses the site of all time. Of course, you should always do your research before investing on my advice, as I am an amateur investor and don�t even invest in the stocks I recommend (I�m only 15).
At the moment, I am recommending financial (especially insurance) stocks, mining, consumer non-cyclical , large-cap pharmaceuticals and building materials providers. However, most technology stocks, such as Yahoo, Ebay, Google and Amazon are vastly overvalued and could be victims of another tech bubble bursting.
Good Luck,
~~~~Shane Halloran.
