Amateur Economists is still less than 2 months old, but some major sites are beginning to notice.
News aggregators that currently index our content are Google News, Alltop, Healthcare 100, and Wikio.
The only site so far that has syndicated one of our articles is Seeking Alpha. However, we are working with a syndication company to have more of our articles syndicated, so bookmark us or, for greater convenience, subscribe to our newsfeed/email updates for future updates on this.
Other notable sites that have linked back to our articles are:
- Carnegie Mellon University
- Bookforum.com: July 14, 18, and 29, and August 18, 2008
- Kevin, MD – Medical Weblog
- MSN Money
- Népszabadság Online (A Hungarian news site.)
Additionally, we are also a member of the HITSphere.com network and the Freakonomics blogroll.
However, I’d like to take a few moments to talk about Alltop, the most recent aggregator we joined. They began including our content in the Economics category (or site) on Sunday, August 17. Their sites cover all the topics you can think of, from ADHD to Yoga. And they’re adding more everyday.
By visiting the Economics site, you can see that they display the 5 latest stories published by each website or blog along with links to the individual articles and the website/blog itself. Alltop sees itself “as a ‘digital magazine rack’ of the Internet. To be clear, Alltop sites are starting points—they are not destinations per se. The bottom line is that we are trying to enhance your online reading by both displaying stories from the sites that you’re already visiting and helping you discover sites that you didn’t know existed.”
Another neat feature of their site is that it allows you to hide the sites/blogs you don’t want to read, which can be very helpful since there are dozens of them in each Alltop site. If you can’t find your favorite site or blog on there, they are always open to new suggestions (see their About page). They are also working on adding more customizing features.
I encourage you to visit their site to find out more about them and other interesting sites and blogs you have yet to discover.
Finally, I’d also like to thank all of you for loyally reading Amateur Economists, some since the beginning on July 7. We’re happy to bring you the current events affecting the areas that economics has branched out to. We also enjoy your feedback, whether it be in the forums, in our feedback inbox, as comments in the blogs, or as pingbacks from your own blog. We also hope you enjoy our magazine and share about us with your family and friends. Feel free to use the “Bookmark & Share” link below each blog post and in the right-hand menu of each earticle to share your favorite articles/blogs via email or social networking sites.
