The micro-blogging site is launching a new tool called Twitter Web Analytics. The new service which is based on Backtype, the social analytics company that Twitter acquired in July, comes with three key benefits.

Christopher Golda, Twitter product manager, wrote in a blog post, Twitter is a powerful platform for websites to share their content and drive traffic and engagement. However, people have struggled to accurately measure the amount of traffic Twitter is sending to their websites, in part because Web analytics software hasnt evolved as quickly as online sharing and social signals.

According to Golda, the new tool will help website owners understand how much traffic they receive from Twitter and the effectiveness of Twitter integrations on their sites.

Three key benefits:- Twitters web analytics service will enable users to see how visitors interact with their website and how their advertising campaigns are faring.

The company plans to release the product as a free service to all website owners within the next few weeks.

The bank, which has branches in 13 Chinese cities, said it will be launching the credit cards for retail and commercial customers later in 2012.

The approval follows preliminary regulatory approval in January, 2012 for Citi to establish a joint-venture securities firm in China, together with Orient Securities Company.

Citi Asia Pacific CEO Stephen Bird said that this approval represents a significant milestone in the continued expansion of Citi’s business in China, a priority market for Citi.

“Our business in China continues to perform strongly across both institutional and consumer lines, and our ability to introduce a credit and commercial card proposition adds to our healthy growth momentum in this key market,” added Bird.

Citi said it will turn over its existing credit card business to joint venture partner Shanghai Pudong Development Bank after it launches its own credit cards.

The trading range is between 1100-1150 give or take $15 or so. So what does this mean for prices going forward? From a technical point of view, this could fit a symmetric triangle. Which means that bull/bear factors have been fighting it out and will come to a conclusion when there is a clear breakout from the triangle, *in either direction*. For the medium term of 2-3 months, since there is no clear direction under both technical analysis and trend following rules, the best thing to do right now is to let the pattern play out and see if a new trend establishes itself. The 50-dma is also flattening out, though the longer-term 200-dma is still in an up-trend.

We are certainly living in interesting times with regards to the gold price. Watch for a possible Death Cross if a downside breakout occurs.

You can not only foretell the future but also discover what 1 was expected to do to produce your life smoothly.

Nevertheless, not everybody that files with regard to bankruptcy can be eligible for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. If the actual bankruptcy court finds that the borrower is capable of repayment, he/she will probably be subjected to a five-year repayment plan where a percentage of the actual monthly salary will probably be automatically paid out to lenders. This is known as Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 as well as Chapter 13 is simply the two basic forms of personal bankruptcy but there are many types as well. It’s crucial that you understand that not all debts may be dismissed via bankruptcy. Examples of these debts contain alimony, the majority of student loans, and also tax liens.

The rating outlook was downgraded to Stable from Positive, while the long-term foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings were affirmed at ‘BBB’.

“The likelihood of an upgrade has receded and the balance of risks is better reflected by a Stable Outlook,” said Charles Seville, Director in Fitch’s Sovereign group.

In the long-term, democratic development that leads to better governance could be positive for Russia’s ratings, but in the short term, uncertainty has increased.

The government under pressure is less likely to carry out a fiscal adjustment, to reduce the non-oil fiscal deficit towards its pre-crisis target of 4.7 percent of GDP. Although Russia has fiscal buffers in the shape of its sovereign wealth funds, the underlying position of the public finances has deteriorated.

This holiday season, I had a chance to catch up with some members of my extended family. I learned that a musician cousin of mine (let’s call him Mark) had recently pulled himself back from the brink of bankruptcy and gotten his debt under control, which (no offense, Mark!) came as a small surprise.

I called Mark in Key West, to congratulate him as well as try and learn his secret. There were some pretty standard money management techniques involved, like consolidating debt and hunting up the best savings account rates and credit card APRs he could find, but there was another piece of the puzzle that I think merits sharing. For the past two years, Mark had been doing something he called “micro-saving.”

French researcher Emmanuel Todd argues that though the implosion of the euro would produce a period of economic pain, panic, and instability, he says that shock wouldn’t last as long as some predict (18, maybe 24 months), before companies and governments picked up and moved on. And because many euro countries would be starting anew after having brushed off huge amounts of debt through various degrees of default, Todd argues the post-euro economies could be re-constructed on more solid fiscal foundations. Another consequence of such default, Todd says, would be freeing economies and governments from control of what he calls the “oligarchy” of mega-rich investors whose fortunes and interests drive and shape bond markets—and whose gain through safe government securities have influenced political leaders into building up huge public debt in the first place.
