Barchart.com, a provider of subscription-based financial data, has announced the purchase of FuturesBoard.com, an information and community site for futures traders. Barchart.com says the deal is designed to expand its community of users and move more towards user generated content, as the site offers a mix of expert commentary, discussion forums and trader blogs. There are a lot of smaller financial sites out there, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see more of them tie up like this. While raw financial data is basically a commodity, sites with an active community should be particularly desirable.http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-draft-barchartcom-nabs-futuresboardcom/
