Google Bulletin
Google has just unveiled a brand-new app designed for sharing inspiring stories between users who make up local communities. The app can help you quickly get the word out so others can take an alternate route and won't get stuck in a risky situation. As long as you can type a bit of text and snap some photos/videos, you can create a story on Bulletin.
Bulletin stories are public and discoverable via Google search, social networks, or links sent via email and messaging apps. Google said that users can easily contribute stories to the app right from their smartphone, without any special setup. In its initial phase, the app will be limited to two cities in the U.S. - Nashville and Oakland. However, they are now accepting registrations for the early access. The company described Bulletin as a way for others to communicate information of local interest, like bookstore readings, high school sporting events, or information about street closures, for example.

Energen (EGN) Stock Rating Upgraded by Seaport Global Securities
Oberweis Asset Management Inc, which manages about $1.10B and $359.32M US Long portfolio, upped its stake in Eldorado Resorts Inc. Equities research analysts anticipate that Energen Corporation will post $0.45 earnings per share for the current fiscal year.
The move to delve into local news would have Google competing with other services where people already share news about what's happening locally. Hyperlocal news has been hard to monetize, and those who have made it work aren't likely interested in shifting their limited time and energy elsewhere.
