Alacra Pulse Adds Twitter, Social Media apps
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.
- 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.
- 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.
