Alacra Pulse Adds Twitter, Social Media apps

Alacralogosmall We’ve just added two exciting new social media features to Alacra Pulse. These new services are designed to help users track and share information that is of interest to them.

 

  1.  Tweet This is a customized Twitter integration. By clicking the Tweet This button, a draft “tweet” is automatically created, including a short snippet from the specific business event. The user may edit the tweet before posting to their Twitter account.

Tweet This has an added twist: integration with the popular StockTwits service. If you are a StockTwits participant, your tweets will automatically be assigned the “$ticker” for the company the Pulse event is describing, so your tweet will automatically flow through to StockTwits.

 

For those unfamiliar with StockTwits, it’s a Twitter-based community of more than 70,000 users, largely active traders. To join, you can simply follow @StockTwits. There’s more information on the StockTwits page.

 

  1. Share This is a plugin that allows users to automatically post stories to social media applications like Facebook or LinkedIn, as well as social bookmarking applications including Digg, Delicious, Stumble Upon and others. With a single click, users can post a story to any of more than fifty different social media applications

 

Alacra Pulse is gaining a strong following among users of business and financial information. The first application on the Pulse platform, Street Pulse, at http://pulse.alacra.com, is a completely free website that aggregates content from traditional and alternative media, identifying comments on companies by sell-side, industry and credit analysts, plus a carefully-selected group of reputable bloggers. Street Pulse answers the question “What do key opinion leaders have to say about Company X today?”

 

To stay on top of the latest business events, you may also follow Alacra Pulse on Twitter.
