Cnnmoney.Com Expands Its Reach With A
Comprehensive Business Blog Network
York, NY, November 15, 2006 — CNNMoney.com, the world's largest dedicated business and finance Web site, has launched a comprehensive collection of blogs designed to expand its reach online and provide web users with some unique perspectives on the world of business and beyond. The Web site now features a total of 20 individual blogs written by staff members of Business 2.0 and FORTUNE magazines, which along with Money and FORTUNE Small Business are part of the Time Inc. Business & Finance Network. The core of this new initiative is a publication-wide strategy for Business 2.0, developed by Editor Josh Quittner, in which each staffer has been commissioned to create their own unique blog based on their professional area of expertise and personal interests. The blogs are currently housed on an über blog entitled, Business 2.0 BETA ( http://blogs.business2.com/ ) and linked to CNNMoney.com which provides an array of logistical and advertising support. B2 BETA, which is edited by Quittner, is frequently updated with select headlines from the network's individual blogs. In addition, CNNMoney.com will feature select news items directly from the Business 2.0 blog network to enhance its already comprehensive coverage of the business and financial community. The Business 2.0 BETA site includes the following blogs:
“Business 2.0 BETA allows us to speak to a greater audience and provide content in whatever way users choose to consume it,” said Quittner. “ The blogs allow us This network of blogs gives us an opportunity to have daily interactions with a whole new and passionate community of readers while complementing the established distribution channels for Business 2.0 in print and online at CNNMoney.com.” CNNMoney.com has also recently launched a pair of blogs authored by two writers from FORTUNE magazine. Roger Parloff, a senior editor for Fortune magazine authors “Legal Pad,” ( http://money.cnn.com/blogs/legalpad/ ) which focuses on legal issues of importance to the business community, and is geared for lawyers and non-lawyers alike.
