This year Reuters is launching their own ‘Myspace’ version, which is catered not for teenagers, but for traders and analysts. The community of website will be numbered the 70,000 subscribers of the messaging service.
“You will see us, later in the year, launch a version of MySpace for the financial services community,” said the chief executive, Tom Glocer. “It won’t have the latest hot videos and the ‘why I am into Metallica and the Arctic Monkeys’ blogs. Instead we are going to give our financial services users the ability to post their research or if they are traders, their trading models.”
The website will also be exclusive to Reuters subscribers. “People don’t want to have 100 friend requests from teenage girls in Florida if they are trading the credit derivatives market, but they probably are interested in being able to share research,” said Mr Glocer.
