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.
