Sprint merging with Nextel has given it an entire new upside, once the merger is complete internally, every analyst out there expects it to take off.
Boeing's story is different, they've come out of a slump and now have more orders than they can handle, their stock has gone from 50 a year ago to over 70. They sold off their Wichita plant in normal consolidation, this is one of the best looking companies for the next 5-10 years.
Neither is proof that crappy companies go to blogs just because they're hurting.
If blogging is the last resort of a failing company, why are companies such as Oracle, Sprint, and Boeing doing it?
Yes, it's regularly a press release in blog form, but that's a much more digestable format, imo. I'd rather get company news in plain talk over a quote that marketing told the CEO to sign off on as his.
