Yahoo and CNBC have created Talking Numbers, a site that combines all available media to explain what’s going on in the markets.
Mike Hogan of Barron’s writes, “It’s a partnership between Yahoo! Finance (finance.yahoo.com) and CNBC television (cnbc.com) of all-day Squawk-a-palooza fame. There’s plenty of good content in a day’s worth of Squawk shows, but it streams by too quickly. Stats, charts, and commentary that pique my interest flash onscreen, then fade into some other story. Video is transitory, and so much other Web content arrives in multiple incompatible formats these days. I like plain text: I can annotate it, think about it, and add to it.
“Talking Numbers tries to find a happy medium. Its videos are usually backed up by articles, and you can choose when, where, and how you consume them. There are plenty of stock charts, and some of the reader commentary is quite good.
“The site’s analysis is integrated, too. Its stated mission is to ‘reach viewers how to harness both technical and fundamental data.'”
