Who? The SEC?


Shamu twits, JJ blogs. Now the SEC is also getting on the band wagon. It also twits. Remember the SEC? The agency that was supposed to be overlooking the stock market and other securities. They were caught sleeping at the switch when these Ponzi schemes and worthless mortgage backed securities surfaced.

The SEC now has 3 feeds on twitter: SEC Investor Ed (1519 followers), SEC news (541 followers) and SEC Jobs (67 followers). As you can see they needn't hold back the onslaught of followers. After all, if 140 characters (maximum length of a tweet) can sufficiently describe what they are working on, then, well ... what's the big commotion? Don't you think a nice little website will just do the trick? Does anyone have to know what the SEC is doing minute by minute?

By the way, I was going to write about the Swine Flu, but I figure by now everyone is already well informed of it. So just remember to cover your mouth when you sneeze, wash hands often and stay away from pigs, or anyone who looks like a pig, or smell like one, or eat and sleep like one.
