When the Going Gets Tough the Tough Go Social

The financial markets continue to shake. Auto-makers are on the hill shaking down lawmakers. Most of us are just plain shaken by the downward trends in the economy. Time to stop the shakes by plugging into the network of info-sharing. I find myself glued to CNBC both on the web and on TV. I want to know the latest information coming out of Wall Street, Washington and Main Street. Staying on top of the money news helps me shake a little less. CNBC's Jim Cramer is an interesting entertainer who mixes stock analysis with anecdotal evidence. His outrage seems genuine. Now we can tap into Cramer's mad-mind even when we're away from that TV box.
Cramer's Mad Money knows the marketplace of ideas is highly social-able. The program is now updating via Twitter, beefing up their podcast offerings and even offering embeddable widgets.
By opening the info-flow, making this data portable and sharable, CNBC has made it easier for us to stay connected. Now we can all freak-out together.
