It’s amazing what knowledge at your fingertips can do for you. I’m talking about searching for information on the internet. Previously before fast speed bandwidth and internet was fully introduced to the world, encyclopedias, dictionaries and libraries are the only sources for information.

I remembered the times when I diligently searched a word in the thick Webster dictionary just for the meaning of a word. But now with the internet, I just had to open an internet browser, log into the internet and Google the word up.

However this knowledge is also a killer. Many of times knowledge found on the internet are abused and this knowledge are always mistaken as experience. I’m talking about the irony of the articles written in Helium.com. Ever since the contests and marketplace was introduced, I have read many articles that was just a Cut and Paste bi-product from an information off a website.

And many of the times I laughed my head off as the information written was off topic and wrongly misinterpreted. For instance in the line of “Commodities Futures“. The author is to write two parts article regarding the future of commodities. Although there were impressive accounts and information collected from Bloomberg with their stock market symbols and the current market prices per Metric Tonne or per gram, the information written was obviously written off the book.

The analytical article didn’t impress me one bit nor does it give the right foresight. Information for commodities are found in London Metal Exchange and New York Mercantile Exchange and other major commodities exchanges. Bloomberg are just traders my dears…

Just for the prize of USD$75, writers took up the challenge of writing topics which they had no hands on experience in. To be able to write analytical topics like the future of commodities needs at least an experience of 2 years in that area. It’s not simply taken from off the book or off the press page. I can bet that most of them don’t even know the difference between a D2 Russian Gas Oil and Mazut 100. Imagine the damage it will cause if business analytics topics were written by these beginners.

No doubt it will give amusement for readers who have experience in the field but can you just imagine if a new blood were to try to venture into this particular field and stumble into the wrongly written report. His brokerage life will go into shambles.

Therefore writers who are currently involved in Helium.com, PLEASE and I’m begging you… Write an article which you have good knowledge in. Do not try to write any articles which you have no experience in. It only serve as a joke to people like me and will certainly rate your articles badly.
