The FT’s Tilt takes a tech blog-style approach to financial news

Billed as a “Premium online financial news and analysis service”, it aims to provide “A lively blend of news and analysis” for those with a real need to keep up with highly detailed news from emerging financial markets around the world.

The site combines short, bloggy articles about specialist topics like the Dubai property market and “The Jakarta Composite” with a community forum called “Tilt Populi”. Access to premium news from Tilt will require a monthly subscription fee, while the community section is free but interestingly requires aspiring users to demonstrate a genuine interest in the financial news from emerging markets before they’re let in.

However, Forrester research analyst Mark Mulligan suggests that a few of the major labels may have set their advances so high that it would be impossible for Spotify to meet their demands without endangering their path to profitability. In other words, in a weird way, we should rejoice that Spotify didn’t launch, as it could’ve been a near suicide mission. As soon as we got Spotify, we could’ve very well lost Spotify too.
