FT launches markets blogs

 

** Updated **

The FT is launching five "markets blogs " rolling blog and a daily live instant-message type markets commnentary" on Monday. The blog Alphaville, is up and running already as a beta.

I'm not an avid watcher of financial markets. Worth a look for the Ajax-y goodness and slick design alone...

Thanks to Liberate Media for the story:

A message on the site is telling of how this blog will feed into the FT's overall editorial direction: "The editorial thinking underpinning this new service from FT.com is that in a world where market professionals are inundated with information there is a pressing need to edit and filter, and hopefully sow a few ideas along the way."

Technorati tags: FT, newspapers, blogs, media, weblogs

Thanks for the admiring mention of our technology. Young London firm called Assanka supplied it. I'd recommend them.

Alphaville starts properly on Monday -- and, just to avoid confusion, its one rolling blog and a daily live instant-message type markets commnentary.
