StockTwits Revamps Website, Launches StockTwits Desktop App


After seeing a tweet by Howard Lindzon this morning, I found out that the StockTwits website had gotten a face lift (pictured below) and a new application had been launched called StockTwits Desktop (pictured above).

I highlighted StockTwits and how to use them as an investor in a previous post and the company has taken it one step further. StockTwits Desktop (pictured above) is the all-in-one twitter client for the investor. It offers a sizable amount of streams you can add to your workstation. Besides the typical streams offered by clients such as TweetDeck, there are:

  • Recommended tweets (stock related)
  • Specific people
  • Forex
  • Futures
  • Watchlist
  • Chart.ly links
  • Specific symbols
  • All StockTwits
  • StockTwits TV
  • And my favorite of all, the ability to display charts within the app

Another great feature is that there is a browser within the application. This allows for clicking links in a tweet and rather than having Firefox either load up or pop up, you have a nice tab open up with the site loaded.

The application requires Adobe AIR to operate, but so far it has been a great replacement for TweetDeck.

Here are some other great posts on the subject:
