AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ — Stocktweeting.com is a new website that enables you to filter, track and interact with investors about publicly traded companies on top of the micro-blogging service Twitter.

Stocktweeting is a social hub for traders who want to interact about the most up-to-date information on a public company. To join, simply enter your Twitter information on Stocktweeting.com and you can begin engaging with other users about any publicly traded company on the site’s homepage.

Let’s say you were to tweet (post a Twitter message) “I think $AAPL will release a 4G iPhone on Verizon.” Immediately, that message shows up in both Apple and Verizon’s live streaming pages on Stockwteeting.com:

Apple – http://www.stocktweeting.com/live/aapl

Verizon – http://www.stocktweeting.com/live/vz

Another example: If you are looking for information about Microsoft, you can visit http://www.stocktweeting.com/live/msft and listen in on a live stream by using a range of filtering techniques such as: hashtags (#microsoft), stock symbol ($MSFT & MSFT) or the company name (Microsoft). The results stream allows other members on both Stocktweeting and Twitter to view and interact with the messages and posts, both on and off the site. This serves as a new way to share news, rumors and investment strategies with traders who are interested in similar securities. Stocktweeting includes company listings about every public company on every United States’-based exchange, from NASDAQ all the way down to the over-the-counter markets.

In addition to chatting, Stocktweeting has a ton of other enhanced features that encourage financial community participation such as allowing members to rate stocks and vote on those which they feel are going to increase or decrease in price the following trading day. Stocktweeting is a smart way to build a financial niche-focused community within the freewheeling mass of the Twitter stratosphere.

“Twitter is an exciting emerging forum for financial discussion,” said Matthew Hagens, president of HagensMedia, LLC. “We expect to release full-blown desktop and Apple iPhone applications within the next few months.”
