Other Ways to Get Investing Ideas on Twitter
If you’re looking for a more directed way to see what’s going on with a particular stock on Twitter, you should check out StockTwits.com. When Twitter users put a dollar sign in front of a ticker they’re tweeting about (i.e. $IBM or $SIRI), StockTwits aggregates the data and makes it easy to search for particular companies by ticker, user, or reputation.
Another option is to do a Twitter Search to see who’s talking about the stocks or industries you’re looking for. Just click the “Search” link at the bottom of any Twitter page to get started.
As more and more investors start using Twitter regularly, we’re sure to see the site’s value as an investing resource increase dramatically. Already Twitter has become a great place to see what other investors are looking at — take a look by visiting Twitter today.
