AOL Debuts Stock Blogs

By Digital Trends Staff April 27, 2006

AOL, through their wholly owned subsidiary Weblogs, Inc, today debuted a series of new blogs related to following individually publicly traded companies. Bloggingstocks.com launches with a total of eight blogs.

Bloggingstocks.com blogs, said AOL, will provide â€œdaily commentary, insightful and thought-provoking analysis and news coverage of some of the most-widely held and followed public companiesâ€. Each blog will have its own dedicated group of bloggers whose backgrounds range from financial professionals to investing enthusiasts. The bloggers will not be making investment buy or sell recommendations or provide any personalized investment advice, however. Readers will be able to provide their own reactions and viewpoints to posts, and Bloggingstocks.com as a whole will be integrated into AOL’s Money & Finance Web site.

“We are delighted to bring this unique network of blogs to our leading financial site,” said Marty Moe, Vice President, AOL Money & Finance, in a statement. “Individual investors are most passionate about individual stocks. These blogs will focus obsessively on what average investors care about most, giving readers an interactive platform to get behind the headlines and exchange insights on some of the most widely held and talked about companies.”

Toilet paper is out of stock everywhere. Here’s how to order it online

where to get toilet paper in a pandemic

Toilet paper is one of those things that you probably don't think about, unless you run out and you're in the middle of a ... delicate situation. At least that was true until the pandemic of 2020.

Roving hordes of panicked people have hoarded almost every roll to be found across the United States. As the pandemic has progressed, the ways stores have handled the shortage has progressed. Some stores have limited the number of people in their buildings at one time and have limited the number of packages people can buy. Still, finding rolls in some area is difficult.

You can experiment with how far you want to place the device from where family members might make a voice request, but the Mini's two microphones support far-field voice detection. In testing, Digital Trends found the Mini could understand commands spoken with a normal speaking voice from as far as 20 feet away.

The Google Home Mini smart speaker has a full-range driver adequate for background music and casual listening. You can bring your playlists with support for streaming music from Spotify, Tunein, Google Play Music, and Chromecast. The smart speaker connects to other devices via Bluetooth 4.1 and 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi.
