The ‘Now’ Web Comes to Abnormal Returns and StockTwits
Posted by: StockTwits, January 25th, 2010- Comments: Comments
Highlights
· Abnormal Returns is now fully integrated into StockTwits.
· New real-time component brings the ‘Now’ web to Abnormal Returns.
· Classic Abnormal Returns remains in effect.
We are happy to announce that Abnormal Returns is a fully integrated part of Stocktwits. We have acquired the website and Tadas Viskanta is joining Stocktwits. Tadas will continue to run the site full-time as its editor-in-chief while contributing his insights as we grow Stocktwits.
The ‘Now’ web is all about links, and the financial community is all about fresh ideas. Stocktwits streams can move pretty quickly especially in fast markets. Therefore, some level of aggregation is a welcome tool for many users. While aggregation tools continue to evolve, curation remains a crucial component.
Blending the two is where art and science meet.
The new look Abnormal Returns will continue to bring it’s daily “wide-ranging, forecast-free investment blog” while adding a real-time component. Abnormal Returns Now will provide readers with a real-time take on finance and investment news. This aggregation will harness both the power of the StockTwits community and editorial insight to bring a stream of intelligent investment links to its readers.
This launch is the next step in an entire revamp of the StockTwits platform coming in the next two weeks. Design clues like the cleaner navigation bar and integrated Abnormal Return headlines tie together the growing network of real-time sites that power StockTwits.
StockTwits CEO Howard Lindzon and Abnormal Returns Editor-in-chief Tadas Viskanta will be on StockTwits TV at 5pm PST (8pm EST) to discuss the deal and the future of the ‘Now’ financial web.
