The business world will never ever underestimate the power of blogs again. The recent «mistake» of Engadget about delayed launch of iPhone knocked $4 billion off Apple’s market capitalization. When the gadget blog corrected its post, Apple’s stock recovered some of its losses.
I know the much revered Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve of the United States from 1987 to 2006, can send market crashing with just a simple comment. I never realized a 96-word post from a powerful blog can easily stir even the financial markets.
From Engadget:
This one doesn’t bode well for Mac fans and the iPhone-hopeful: we have it on authority that as of today, the iPhone launch is being pushed back from June to… October (!), and Leopard is again seeing a delay, this time being pushed all the way back to January. Of 2008. The latest WWDC Leopard beta will still be handed out, but it looks like Apple-quality takes time, and we’re sure Jobs would remind everyone that it’s not always about «writing a check», but just how much time are these two products really going to take?
The lesson is simple: follow Spider-Man’s dictum i.e. with great power comes great responsibility!
Hace 15 dias (el 15 de Mayo) escribi en el blog:
«Pero, de todas maneras creo que Microsoft esta tomando un gran riesgo en esta transicion, por ejemplo, si ya tengo que cambiar el PC y pasarme a un nuevo sistema operativo, porque no evaluar pasarme a Apple? Les confieso que hasta hace medio ano era impensable para mi, pero….. (por las dudas oy comprando algunas acciones de apple y de Intel, creo que ambos se van a beneficiar del Vista mas que Microsoft)»
Ese dia compre acciones de Apple a 107.03, hoy estan a 119.71 (11% en 15 dias!!)
Habra sido culpa de mi blog??? 🙂

When five Microsoft guys started posting internal videos for the world to see, many at the famously secretive company freaked. And that was before thousands of in-house bloggers took to their keyboards. A dispatch from the front lines of transparency.
