I’m happy to announce that Stock Menulet now displays news items (that is, status updates) from Twitter, in addition to news items from Yahoo!
The feedback on this change has been overwhelmingly positive. There has been near-universal agreement that addition of Twitter items gives the news stream greater interest and immediacy. Inclusion of the symbol AAPL, for example, now shows not only news items about product releases—but also a survey of real-time reactions to the new project.
Try it out! If you don’t like it, then we’ve included a preference item allowing you to disable the new feature.
Happy Trading!
Surprisingly, I’ve noticed that our search rankings for “stock ticker mac” and “mac stock ticker” are quite different, I’m not sure why. Can anybody shed light on how the order of search terms makes a difference?
We are now considering how to add real-time charts to Stock Menulet!
Do we create our own charts from downloaded data? This seems like a real pain :) Or do we get the charts from elsewhere? If so, where?
