I’m not a great user of Twitter; but it seems millions are. I guess as a means to send and receive messages between large groups of people it’s pretty efficient.
The service has moved on somewhat from the days of tweeting your friends to say you’ve just gone to bed. Tweeting them again a few minutes later to inform them you’ve turned out the light…..etc. Today, Twitter is the one of the most prevalent examples of the social web and is responsible for many outpourings of mass hysteria (or hysterical masses as is often the case when rumours that create a corporate hate agenda turn out to be false - most recently Amazon falling victim).
News, mostly factual it has to be said, gets round fast on Twitter without doubt.
What better day to launch our latest project ‘StockTwips’ therefore than on Budget day - a service aimed to capture the ‘twittering potential’ (?!) of UK investors. OK, so ‘Budget’ isn’t a listed company on the London Stock Exchange - our main focus of coverage going forward; but it sure will impact a number of them in some shape or form.
Whilst StockTwips does intend to focus on providing a filtered view per company of all tweets being made on it by investors (simply add UK:VOD for example to your tweet if I’m boring you already) ; we thought we would introduce you gently to the potential of Twitter and StockTwips by showing you just what it’s capable of.
So, as Alistair Darling stands up to deliver his budget speech - launch this page - and get the views of fellow tax payers in real-time.
