How terrible is the Tribune-owned South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Web traffic? Terrible enough that one Web visitor in the middle of the night catapulted a six-year-old story about United Airlines's 2002 bankruptcy onto the site's "most popular" list... which ultimately shaved off 75% of United's (UAUA) market cap. From tomorrow's Wall Street Journal: In its latest explanation, Tribune said a single visit during a low-traffic period early Sunday morning pushed the undated story onto the list ...Contribute comment -

One of the oddest side effects of the credit crunch, which most recently brought about the nationalization of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: Salesforce.com shares are soaring. Fannie and Freddie's fall hasn't boosted Salesforce's business. But Freddie Mac has been taken off the S&P 500 stock index, which made room for Salesforce.com. Index-tracking funds which are required to match its makeup have been buying Salesforce.com as a result.Shared by Eric (11)Contribute comment -
