That's half-way to one million!
Wow! Half-a-million registered users. Quite a milestone. Having been with Seeking Alpha since when we were just a tiny site (my employee number is 10, and my user ID is 6383, and here's my first article), it feels like quite an accomplishment.
In management meetings we often find ourselves oscillating between a sense of accomplishment at having built what may be the premier online community for sophisticated U.S. investors, and a sense of urgency at how much we believe still needs to be done.
Our recent tweak to identify extreme stock and ETF research (Investment Views) feels almost like a return to our roots. Feedback, which has been very positive, has helped us understand that while separating out extensive investment research from our broader content is welcomed by the SA community, it's only the first step. We still need to do a much better job of surfacing Investment Views on places other than Quote Pages. We also hope that by highlighting our most valuable content, and giving it longer exposure (Investment Views cycle off the page much slower than the broader stream), that contributors will be motivated to share their best investment research and analysis with our community. We're also thinking about what else we can do to make sure investors trying to conduct intensive stock market research will find on SA a broad range of opinions on a variety of stocks that outflanks the "50 most popular" approach taken on many investment sites.
One thing I'd appreciate some help thinking about is how to encourage more vibrant comment streams on our Investment Views and Just One Stock articles. We already know that controversial articles, and articles about highly-controversial stocks, generate healthy debate. But we'd love to see more ongoing discussion of solid investment themes, such as this comment stream on this recent article. And more organic community interaction such as optionsgirl's highly-informative post-market quick-chats, like this one. Any ideas?
Once again, huge kudos to David, the entire SA staff, our contributors, and the half-a-million-strong SA clan!
