[edit] Much of this article reads like an advertisement
Much of the content of this article reads like an advertisement for the Bloomberg Professional service (which has its own article). In any case, several of the claims about the product are untrue or misleading. For instance, Bloomberg messages, while important, are not a more prevelant method of communication than email. If anyone wishes to reverse my edits, please discuss here. OlekG 22:41, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Olek ... I think that the person who put that in originally (NOT me :) was trying to criticize Bloomberg, not promote it.. I know a few financial people, and they complain about how backwards their coworkers are - they basically have Bloombergs only becauase the messaging system is the only way many financial types communicate. It also IS faster and more secure than email... Personally I think it's backwards, but I think that there is some basis for that claim... Luminifer (talk) 03:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
Not only is it like an advert, how can it airbrush over all the court cases the company has faced from sexual harrasment to discrimination to a fine from the British Electoral Commission? 88.110.226.130 20:33, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] How much is it?
Does anyone know how much a Bloomberg workstation is roughly? This would be interesting. Thanks, --84.20.185.61 21:20, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Oups, sorry, I should post this question better at Bloomberg Terminal. --84.20.185.61 21:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion of criticisms
Criticisms paragraph was deleted by User_talk:199.172.169.21 without explanation. This user has several mentions on talk page for vandalism. I have reinstated the criticisms paragraph. NB I am user OlekG, forgotten login details, this is not a deliberate attempt to sockpuppet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.175.131.193 (talk) 23:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Should the criticisms be deleted outright, as people seem to keep doing? Shouldn't they get some citation-neededs instead? Luminifer (talk) 21:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I checked out the whois for 199.172.169.21, and this is what I get:
Bloomberg Financial Market BLOOMBERG-169 (NET-199-172-169-0-1) 199.172.169.0 - 199.172.169.255

[edit] npov
whoever is deleting my edit in regards to the merger of thomson-reuters is not respecting the current situation of the financial information industry. currently bloomberg is the dominant company with 33% of international market share whereas thomson and reuters has market share in the teens. (please see article). By deleting my edit, the person is showing false information by saying bloomberg rivals both thomson and reuters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnsmith17 (talk • contribs) 06:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Organizational structure
All Bloomberg employees sit in front of one of the proprietary Bloomberg terminals, which they use to access market information, send emails and process data or words. The offices have mostly glass walls and have people generally seated at rows of desks.
Why is any of the above important? I thought about removing the section entirely, but the article is kinda short as it is... ♣♦ SmartGuy ♥♠ (talk) 13:35, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
The above is indeed not important. I don't understand why it needs references or sources. I work for this company and the above statement is true. There are pictures of the offices in the bloomberg.com web site. - Fauvist May 18, 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 12:50, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
