24/7 Wall Street celebrates first birthday

The 24/7 Wall Street web site is celebrating its one-year anniversary this week. The site covers the comings and goings in the financial world.

A short announcement on the site stated, “Over that period, we have filed over 8,700 stories, almost all of them written by in-house staff and we began to offer only exclusive content starting about six months ago. That comes out to about 30 stores a day on weekdays.

“We now routinely cover the global economy, markets, and stocks from 3:30 AM to 9:00 PM EST. 24/7 Wall St. now appears regularly in the Top 10,000 sites measured by Quantcast based on size and reach. The service tracks almost 21 million websites, so that puts 24/7 pretty far up the list.

“Our content is linked to regularly by outside partners and affiliated online sites such as MarketWatch, TheStreet.com, AOL Finance, WSJ, Barron’s, Stockhouse, Huffington Post, the New York Sun, Financial Content, Google Finance, Google News, and many more. Our editors have appeared on CNBC and on CNN International, and we were featured on Fox Business News shortly after its launch.”
