Out of curiosity for SEO, here are some key stats about our coverage of the InTrade CEO‘s horrific death. Note that these stats don’t encompass the frontpage readers and the feed subscribers (so, we would add many hundreds more, actually). And that only one webpage (out of the many we wrote on the topic) is counted.

InTrade was not able to predict anything regarding the Fukushima nuclear energy plant. — [PREDICTION POST-MORTEM] –> See Jason Ruspini’s comment, by the way.

As for anonymity:

One thing I learned about business journalism when I was actually in business (Wall Street) was that anyone who went on the record had an agenda. The only folks who told the real story were the anonymous background sources. So, here at least, I think it would be a mistake to force people to comment under their own names.

We publish anonymous sources only when it is truly necessary, but we prefer that people disclose their identity. Otherwise, some P.R. people hide under pseudonyms to puff their wind.

I just wanted to remind them that they can also subscribe to the comment feed, so they can also get the comments into their Google Reader, Reeder, or else.

They are only a small bunch of comments each week, since registration is compulsory —but the comments are always smart. (See Paul Hewitt’s last comment on forecasting, for instance.)

ADDENDUM: And here’s our Twitter feed.
