Weekend post: What would you like to see here

So you are here reading this blog, hopefully you have been before. We want to know why..

What do you like about it?
What issues should we discuss?
What don't you like?
What should we do more of or less of?

Let us know, it will hopefully help to improve our quality. Soon we will have to make a stylistic upgrade, so any feedback now will be most useful.

Thanks

CU

I'd say just keep going, all three of you.

As I've said to others, a recent comments widget is a useful addition, but that's all, really.

I read fewer blogs than I used to but I keep C@W on the list. You have a good niche with your 'follow the money' angle. Keep it up.

Peter Spence said...

Can't say more than agree with Mark Wadsworth. I seldom comment but you do get a more civilised commentariat on this blog than on others. I like the occasional versification as well. Keep it up.

I find the site interersting and rather more couth than some. However I find the name of the venture something of an oxymoron. I have known one or two but, like true socialists, they have never worked.

OldSouth said...

Kudos for your good information, and for your good-humored approach. Keep that going.

There is bad news aplenty out there, we all know that.

How about bringing us examples from time to time of success stories, people/companies/political entities who have done the right thing and are prospering?

San Diego CA, for instance, is sitting on hundreds of millions in cash reserves, no deficits, no crisis, no problem.

Thanks,

OldSouth

It’s Finished: Has anyone read this UK Plc funeral letter?

dearieme said...

You could always run an auction to see whether anyone would like to buy the cheque wot Gordon Brown bounced on me.

Do I hear £150,000?

I thought not.

I enjoy reading you guys, as i see you almost as a cross between "A very British dude" and "FT Alphaville". Well at least thats how you come across to me. you seem knowledgeable about the topics you discuss, explain it in a way that i can understand. you also are able though to really dig down and brin into the discussion other areas that i wouldn't have thought of.

personally as another comment mentioned i think the "following the Money" angle is good idea. i enjoy your takes more about energy issues buts that just because its what i do for a day job.

keep up the good work.

Roy S said...

Im one of the rare commenters, but Id like to echo Mark Wadsworth and Peter Spence - just keep going the way youve done so far. Much as I read some of the other bloggers (like Guido...) I cant be bothered to be wading through 500 comments of which many are just insults and bad language - which is why I find yours to be saner, and comments actually have something to say in a considered way....

Raedwald said...

Yep, just keep on doing what you do - I always look forward to a C@W post.

Patrick McGroin said...

have to agree with old south, some examples of places that fixed the roof when the sun was shining, that we can envy/aspire be like.

Alexp76 said...

As a relative newcomer, finding the blog through one of your comments on Peston's blog back in Sept / Oct, I think you're doing a great job. "Follow the money" works for me, as does the irreverent humour...

Keep going I say.

Martyn Findley said...

Keep the standard of the content high and please do not get overly complicated when you redesign the blog.

idle said...

Very poor.

I check at least once a day to see if it has improved at all.

I will continue to check once a day.

TheFatBigot said...

I'm an old drunk, I can't remember what I've read by the time I've reached the full stop. So carry on or change, I'll be befuddled and happy come what may.

Philipa said...

I was brought here by BQ's insightful comments and thought to check out where he blogs, liked it, came back. A good mix of stuff.

Lordy said...

In the bookmarks. Like the market related stuff most.

Grumpy grandad (a daily visitor) said...

Stop navel gazing and just keep doing what you already do so well.

As my first year English teacher said to me: "Boy, if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it".

Hope that helps?

Richard Elliot said...

I really like the blog, keep up the good work!

What do you like about it?
- I like the alternative view. Articles that aren't in the mainstream or an different angle of the ones that are.
- Energy Policy stuff
- The updates on CUs millions under management.

What issues should we discuss?
- Economics
- Politics
- I like the fact you sometimes go off topic and blend in sport etc...

What don't you like?
- I read less of the Friday funnies and the series articles.

What should we do more of or less of?
- It's the economic analysis I come here for.

roym said...

i was first attracted by the market and economics stuff.
it does make me chuckle quite a bit though, despite most of the time you lot are highly critical of the government, which can easily turn into a partisan rant fest.

Edindie said...

I started coming here for the business analysis and that is how I describe this site to other people, however I love the blackadder chat etc. I also find Nick’s energy posts pretty interesting too as I wouldn’t read them on other sites and find them quite interesting. I only ever dip into politics when I think I absolutely have to, but BQ reminds me of the important issues from time to time so I don’t forget that however much I dislike the stereotypical politician, it’s important that I at least pay attention.

Things I like about the site; pretty much everything you do now; regular diverse stories, apparently selective fan base (although this post disproves that), entertaining jokes I can steal and pretend I came up with.

Things I think would improve the site; pretty much only the recent comments widget, I’d like some kind of punter chat and this should easily implement that.

lilith said...

C@W is a fabulous blog just as it is. Cityunslicker is serious, Nick is an artist and Bill is outrageous. Love it.

That was a very beautiful poem about nature especially about the everlasting power Sun. The title “Sun flakes” itself felt apt for the poem. I had a great time reading the poem. Thanks a lot for such a nice post. Please keep sharing
