The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
Government and News Media Finally Get Around to Telling Us: We've Been in Recession Since December 2007
Oh so that's why the market is plunging again.
We need to get a grip, folks. Keep telling yourself and your friends that "Obama's Coming". (And he's acting fast on economic issues.) (That being said economists say that the real problem is that businesses and people need to debt payments, and can't get new loans so they are being forced to sell stock at whatever price they can get for them. I'm not sure those aren't the same economists that assured us that there was no price manipulation on oil, though now some journalists are reporting on massive manipulation in early 2008 on the price and even that China was hoarding oil --ostensibly to be sure to have enough for the Olympics-- through August 2008)
The best analysis I heard on the way the president elect has jumped in to do what he can now is that Obama believes in one president at a time, but then he noticed that there was no president working on economic issues (if Bush is working on anything but running out the clock).
See CNN Money report "It's official: Recession since Dec. '07" on the revision of recession assessment by the National Bureau of Economic Research (which makes it safe for mainstream news to say the "R" word).
