      Katie,

      In regards to the the Reuters profile information, I use it a lot as a jumping off point to visit companies' sites and to check that the information is correct. My firm does this as a service for companies. Common issues are links to wrong pages or error pages, and contact information that is old or incorrect. We don't keep track of the figures, but anecdotally I'd estimate that around one in 10 pages we review has an error of some kind. The best solution obviously is for Reuters to provide a way for companies to correct these problems (if they see them). Still, I'm sure <em>some</em&... companies would value the ability to get their information on the Google Finance page for their company. RSS, executive blog posts, YouTube video, spreadsheets etc.       Apr 26 02:42 AM

      Hi Katie,

      Thanks for doing this. Sorry about the many questions/suggestions, but I'm

      1.) You're using Reuters information for a lot of company profile stuff. This information often has errors in it like broken links and wrong spellings etc. What about giving companies themselves the ability to update certain content on Google Finance? Seems to me that for some stuff, companies themselves are the best source.

      2.) Public companies are starting to add RSS feeds for their investor information. How about picking up those feeds and showing their headlines on each company's profile page? Again, this could be offered on a self-service basis? Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that companies be allowed editorial control over everything on the page, just the things for which they are the obvious authorities.

      3.) How has the "plus box" in the main search results affected traffic to Google Finance?

      4.) Some changes have been made to the blog posts. A lot of pages don't show blog posts. When blog posts do show, it's usually only for a day or so? What was the reason for changing this?

      Again, thanks for doing this.       Apr 25 07:51 PM

      Hi Dick,

      First, thanks for a great service and congrats on building a remarkable service-oriented company culture. I'm sure I speak for many FeedBurner users when I say we are truly spoiled.

      My question: With a growing number of companies starting to offer RSS feeds for their investor news and disclosures, which company, if any, is aggregating all of these feeds into one big pipe and smaller ones based on industries etc. It's a pain to have to subscribe to each company's feed separately and while there are tools to mix your own feeds, that can be time consuming. Is this something FeedBurner might consider doing?       Apr 24 05:50 PM
