StockTwits is pleased to announce that we are a content partner with Yahoo! Finance and that our microblog messages will be featured prominently on the Market Pulse pages across the universe of US equites and ETF’s to be seen by millions of Yahoo Finance users across the globe. Today, Yahoo! Finance launches a new and wonderful feature called Market Pulse that captures real time stock market conversations focused on specific tickers.
We are very excited that Yahoo Finance has chosen to use our API, which acknowledges the hard work we have done over the years curating ideas and people $YHOO Finance users can click on your Stocktwits name and avatar and will be linked right to your profile page, so take some pride :) .
Our pal Josh has my favorite explanation of the whole end results and possibilities.
The full experience of Stocktwits is still on our web site and desktop where you can see all the messages from Stocktwits and the messages we pull from Twitter with the proper tagging.
We earned this one with a great product, but it still took a few years of hustle, cajoling, begging, travelling etc…to push this partnership over the goal line. Yahoo made us work hard for it. Yahoo! Finance has done a beautiful job of laying out these pages which you can find by clicking on the Market Pulse link in the navigation column of Yahoo! Finance ticker pages.
This partnership creates an incredible opportunity for our community members to share their ideas and build a bigger audience for themselves. There will be thousands of new voices contributing and sharing ideas and it will be fun watching the growth of our community accelerate further.
NOTE – Be sure to send your messages over the StockTwits platform, because only those are being picked up by Market Pulse. This includes The StockTwits website, the StockTwits Desktop (http://stocktwits.com/desktop) and StockTwits mobile apps.
See you on the stream!
Good job Howard. Onward and upward.
thx
congrats, Howard…key line is “We earned this one with a great product” but glad Yahoo finally saw the light!
indeed. they are just big. it’s the GRIND which I was blogging about this
weekend
congrats team ST. i know you put a lot of hard work into this one. enjoy paris.
Fantastic!!
indeed my friend :)
I’m really getting tired of the time I spend reading these “developments” and then posting “congratulatory” posts.
For the love of God, stop growing so the rest of us can get back to investing.

Congratulations. Any concern that this will invite the typical YHOO message board spam to cloud the stocktwits community? Have you thought about a community moderation/rating system?
there is a FLAG button in each message
you can customize your streams
also we continue to kick peole off and curate as per our house rules.
i do expect spam to pick up though and thats good so we can learn to combat
it .
I don’t see the flag functionality. Maybe my adblocker/ghostery is blocking it.
Congrats on growing.
ping @zerobeta on stoctwits
Nice work. Great addition to Y!F.
Great stuff Howard. It’s all coming together: Yahoo! Finance + StockTwits = even better trading ideas to take action on with Zecco’s Zap Trade: http://www.zecco.com/zaptrade
indded. thx for support mike
Congrats! I know Yahoo Finance is a tough nut to crack.
so tough. broke me almost in spirit over the years but it makes so much
sense
Congrats. The Yahoo! Finance partnership is a major coup.
Checking my e-mail, I think you and I first started talking about putting Short Screen & Portfolio Armor in the StockTwits store in December of ’09. In a way, StockTwits is to me what Yahoo was to StockTwits.
just caught this. conga-ratz
killer partnership
No wonder $YHOO closed at the highest level in over 8 months $SWTIT
i wish we could take the credit for QE bull market raising all boats
Ha. Congrats Howard (and others of course @stocktwits). You guys are doing a great job and im happy that I can contribute to this great network.
Great stuff, the StockTwits idea is really taking off. Along with it I think the idea that anyone can give good advice, some people more than others, but lots of regular people have something interesting to say.
Congratulations to the StockTwits team.
Congratulations! I actually had lunch with a few people from your team a couple months back at a “Jelly” meeting at the Hive downtown where I work from. Good people.
Cheers,
-Todd
