MarketWatch Woes

July 31, 2005

Anyone else having problems with their MarketWatch.com email alerts? I’ve set up to get alerts for “Media”, and while my Blackberry used to fill with lots of daily messages about any conceivable media moves financially, my account keeps going dead. When I go to the account area of the site, sometimes it says my alert needs to be “activiated,” as if I’ve turned it off (which I haven’t, unless I”m suffering from severe memory loss or even more incompetence than I think I possess.)

I consider this, along with customizble RSS (which I no longer see on them or WSJ.com, both owned by DowJones), one of the great news technology aps moving ahead in business media. But why the functionality problems?

Pardon, by the way, for not posting Friday. Traveling. With children. By myself. Without a deadline or boss or “assignment”.
