Industry: Financial

Press Release Summary: Economypedia, the
online dictionary of economic terms has been launched by EconomyCloud.com.
Speaking on the occasion of the launch of the website, Chairman Keith Timimi said
that this economy wiki will become a vital reference source for investors,
economists and business people. Although there are resources available online that
cover economics, finance and investment topics, there is no resource with both deep
factual content and the ability to support both global opinion and the full spectrum
of political views also being well categorized. Economypedia will ultimately support
clearly demarcated ‘fact’ and ‘opinion’ sections.

Press Release Body: Economypedia, the online
dictionary of economic terms has been launched by EconomyCloud.com. Speaking on
the occasion of the launch of the website, Chairman Keith Timimi said that this
economy wiki will become a vital reference source for investors, economists and
business people. Although there are resources available online that cover economics,
finance and investment topics, there is no resource with both deep factual content
and the ability to support both global opinion and the full spectrum of political
views also being well categorized. Economypedia will ultimately support clearly
demarcated ‘fact’ and ‘opinion’ sections.

Members of the community can create their own account on the site and post relevant
information on any economy topics. The posts are closely monitored by moderators.
The site will also have a news feature section which will display all latest news
from the world of economics from a partner site, http://economywatch.com/ . All
posts are categorized by topic, with key categories including Financial Economics,
Business Economics, Economic Development, Economic Theories, Economic Policy, the
Digital Economy or Technomics and Country-specific economics. Mr. Timimi told
journalists that these categories have been devised after doing much research and
can cover all topics under the economic umbrella. Members can post their articles
under each of these headings and add additional content to current articles,
particularly in the fast-moving sections on the Digital Economy and Technomics.

Mr. Timimi informed journalists that though the site has been in beta mode it
already has a community of several thousand users and contributors. The site
analytics show a healthy trend. Answering various questions on the funding sources,
Mr. Timimi said that the site has been funded by the parent company and he has also
invested in his personal capacity. At present, the site will be run on the same
model as the Wiki, mainly on contribution from members. However, being a niche site
focused only on finance and economics, the site will evolve in fascinating ways. Mr.
Timimi further said that the objective of the site was not to generate profits in
the short-term. The short-term objective is to build a community intent on
generating quality content.
