Howard:

If I use that link you posted in the body of the thread post it sends me to the sign in page, however if I use the same username and password it won't let me in saying it doesn't recognize the account.

"Since 2006 I have been banging the table about real time financial information from trusted sources."

Completely agree on how Stocktwits is going to deliver just that - and I think Twitter's recent moves into verified accounts and later, reputational ranking algorithm, will really help achieve that.

"I believe Stocktwits goal of becoming ‘The Social Bloomberg’ is ambitious, fun and closer to a reality"

This is awesome... let all these older sites muster around with the market data, no big value there, same old game. But Stocktwits has the community. Sentiment could be really interesting if you splice it in various ways - top/recommended traders, then by sector, and then overall.

Congratulations again on what you have done with Stocktwits. Based on the last few months I can't imagine what greatness will be displayed in the near and distant future.

totally agree. More people on the platform, more information shared, more value and more capabilities to roll out interesting feature sets "that match research and customers in real time".

Question though -- for those investors not trading and more just looking to pick and choose their spots, what's in it for them to adopt StockTwits? They're not trading the news but instead looking for good, well-reasoned ideas without a lot of jargon.
