SiriusBuzz Survey - Reader Blog Category

I got this brainstorm this morning. We have excellent, emotional and intelligent people posting on the threads. Some have brought up the issue of writing articles themselves. As a precursor, I thought we may be able to create a new category in the forums of Reader Blogs.

The subcategory could be sorted by individual, any individual, who would like to write daily, weekly or sporadically about any given Sirius XM related topic.

I'm just wondering what you guys think? There are so many intelligent posters here that I think it would expand everyone's involvement with the stock, the company and siriusbuzz.

I'm thinking it would be less chaotic because each individual "blogger" would in a sense have their own thread. We wouldn't need to edit or moderate. If someone is abusive or off topic they tend to be edited anyway. That would continue.

I think it's a great idea. It would give a proper forum for people to expand on the thoughts they have. The discussion page is great but you are somewhat limited in both the space and, the given time frame before your post looks out of place.

I have no problem with other opinions,as long as it doesn't get like Yahoo boards,of which i have never partaken except by link,it is bad...
but I think it is worth trying..

The more information the better. Statistical and specific financial information cited in the blogs should give source. This form of blogging has the potential to make anyone interested into a more rounded investor. I believe background history (not necessarily name) captured within the blog will lead to credibility outside our tight circle!!

I think this is a GREAT idea.... and if Relmor/Demian/John (and others) don't start doing some writing... I'm going to ask killer to sick the blue dog on them.... it would be great to have a consolidated place to find their wisdom on the long level SP days.... when we need a jolt of reality/facts/advice from them.

I think this is an excellent idea! The blogger section could be a completely seperate section, free from editing or censorship unless requested by the blogger him or herself. It would definately allow other ideas to be expressed in a meaningful way instead of just in a daily SIRI thread or something.

It could also lead to people getting their blog posted on the main page if it is a good quality post or being linked to from a main page post.

AS you know newman, I sent you, Charles and Tyler an email this morning regarding this. Still waiting for them to weigh in.

I dont know you can always just press on their name and go right to the "all threads started by (name here)" Here is an example:



http://siriusbuzz.com/forum/search.php?searchid=130335


I just think the site works well, it is well designed and I am not one to give Charles credit for to much. So when I say I think he did a good job with the site then I mean it.

I don't want to change the site. I want to add a section to the forums.

Personally, I don't see why anyone can't just go start a new thread right now and call it their thread with their advice about the stock.

That being said, if anyone here honestly wants to take the time to do guest posts, I will be happy to entertain any ideas/articles.

That is the point I was making also. The site already pretty much covers this type of issue. You see you were thinking ahead.

Sorry I think the site does very well the way it is and exploiting contributors that comment on different threads seems ..... insincere... If you really believe that some of the contributing comments to the threads written are worth cultivating, then be more upfront and genuine about it, and ask them to write articles for your site because you value their contributions.... Otherwise the suggestion just seems to be a bit unmanageable for an already overstretched STAFF, Charles...... (just what you need in trying to manage the site more chaos)

Being out of work has left me a lot of free time which I have spent here in the forums.

In general terms, everyone knows a lot about a little. I'll use Homer (hope he doesn't mind) as an example. He doesn't seem to have time to sit in front of a computer all day responding to each and every person who starts a post regarding insider transactions either here or yahoo or raging bull or whatever. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen someone ask "Where's Homer?" The reason is that when it comes to fundamental analysis, the guys a genius.

My scenario would provide a place where Homer's opinion on an issue could be found. Still others are genius' in their own right when it comes to technical analysis, such as Relmor, not to mention technology and Satellite guru's and such.

A person who worked all day/week has to look through thousands of posts on the daily and weekly threads to follow just one conversation. I'm kinda "monk-like" when it comes to organization.

Having fired off my last rebuttal bullet, it was just a thought. That's what I get for thinking.

Brandon, noone is saying it wasn't a good idea. What we are saying is that the site already covers it. As Charles has already said there is no reason that certain people could not just start their own thread. When I feel I have to get something out, that is what I do.

I am with John on this one. I am not trying to shoot down an idea but, does Homer want a place to post? Like I said, no one has contacted me about having a an article published or a dedicated place to post. If Homer really wanted to publish an article, he wouldn't get any trouble from me. I don't think he wants to.
