Search Engine and Financial Blog from TheStreet.com, Premieres with StockBlogr
New York, New York - (The Hosting News) - June 6, 2007 - Financial commentary, analysis, research, news and financial ratings resource, TheStreet.com, has debuted its financial blog search engine, StockBlogr, devoted to accessing the top financial blogs on the Internet, with investment advice, information about specific stocks, and trading strategies.
A StockBlogr search returns the most relevant blog posts related to the search text (for example, ''GOOG'' or ''Cramer'') as well as links to relevant portfolios held by the professional investors tracked at Stockpickr.com and relevant videos from any of the major online financial video sites.
The combination of these resources within one search engine serves to increase stickiness to TheStreet.com's network of sites while delivering robust research options to users of the tool.
James Altucher, President of Stockpickr.com, a wholly owned subsidiary of TheStreet.com remarked, ''StockBlogr stands out from other search engines currently available online. It's what users want access to, on time, all the time - in an environment where they don't have to weed through clutter to find what they are looking for. StockBlogr is a reliable resource for consumers who would otherwise not have a clear path to the very tools depended upon by professional money managers to gain an edge in collecting timely information to make successful financial decisions.''
For two years, TheStreet.com has been the leader in delivering the best blog posts from the financial blogosphere, via its Daily Blogwatch column and from blogs by Jim Cramer and Jim "Rev Shark" DePorre. StockBlogr enhances the Company's ability to continue to share its expertise and command of the financial blogosphere through the thoughtfully selected compilation of content within the tool.

ACTA Negotiations to Continue Next Week
The Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement known for being a 'Pirate Bay Killer' trade agreement is scheduled to be negotiated further next week. While ACTA is known for many things (most of which negative) it's, above all, known to be very secretive. We reported on ACTA about two months ago when it made its first appearance as a 'Pirate Bay Killer' agreement. At the time, the agreement had to be leaked online before any real transparency could be established. For American corporate interests, it is effectively another way to stop The Pirate Bay's operations.
