The Global Trade Widget helps bloggers take their analysis to the next level in a way that readers can easily see and understand.
New York, NY (Vocus) January 14, 2010
Panjiva , the leading source of objective information on global manufacturers, today announced the availability of a free, customizable widget that tracks trends in global trade. The Global Trade Widget provides a graphical representation of import data culled from Panjiva Trends , a robust trade tracking technology made available in late 2009. Data in Panjiva Trends and the Global Trade Widget is automatically updated on a monthly basis and results are often used as an indicator of consumer demand, economic shifts and developments in a particular industry or geography.
The Global Trade Widget’s flexible design allows the tool to highlight macroeconomic trends by tracking all shipments to the U.S. or drill down into the specific performance of one product or item. Users may choose to include the widget within an individual post or add it to the sidebar of their blog so readers can easily monitor performance over time. Readers can then scroll over the interactive graph to reveal specific shipment numbers for a particular week or opt to click through to Panjiva Trends for additional details or to conduct their own searches.
"Bloggers are incredibly passionate about the topics they cover so we’re excited to offer them this unique tool that can be tailored to their specific areas of interest,” said James Psota, Panjiva co-founder and CTO. "From hobby bloggers writing about the latest toy craze to journalists covering our nation’s recovery from the Great Recession, the Global Trade Widget helps bloggers take their analysis to the next level in a way that readers can easily see and understand.”
