StockTwits is pleased to announce the beta launch of our New StockTwits.com Website which you can find by clicking HERE.
For the time being, we are launching this new beta version alongside our existing site. This will allow us to continue to integrate new and novel features and test them out without inhibiting the quality and reliability you have come to expect from StockTwits. As well, it will allow our community to experiment and contribute directly to the completion of the site (more about this below).
The new site is built on our own API that is already running on the StockTwits Desktop. This provides us with our own flexible and stable platform which can be organized in many ways as well as shared with those who would like to employ our rich real time data or build applications of their own.
There are a bunch of new features on the new site and many more on the way. Here is just a taste of what you will find.
Real Time Stream Lists – On the left hand column, you will find a streams list function which allows users to save multiple streams and have instant access to them. This makes navigating the streams you are most interested in incredibly quick and easy.
Multiple Watchlists – The Multiple Watchlist feature allows users to save as many ticker symbol watchlists as they would like each with as many symbols as they would like. So if you want to follow the streams of multiple energy stocks, metals stocks, short candidates or whatever, you can do so and have instant access to those custom streams as well.
Enhanced Ticker Pages – Ticker pages including specific equities, Forex pairs and futures are now fortified with corresponding Chart.ly charts and community driven links. We will be adding features as well and would love to know what you would like to find on these pages. Functions such as conference call audio, fundamental charts and curated links are all fair game so please share what you would love.
More – We have a ton of new features planned such as enhanced member profiles, community based moderation and preset sector streams that will delight so stay tuned for frequent announcements as the beta progresses!

Your Feedback is Crucial
Above all, StockTwits is a wonderful community of market participants and we have launched the beta site while we are still adding features precisely because of this. We want our community members to come to the new site, view all of the different types of pages, press all the buttons and then play the integral role in its completion.
There are multiple ways you can make suggestions from clicking the Feedback button along the left hand border of the site to sending a tweet to @StockTwits directly on the stream to emailing us at feedback@stocktwits.com to calling The StockTwits Help Desk at 1-888-STK-TWIT Monday through Friday between 8AM and 5PM EST.
We want to know what you would love to make The New StockTwits.com exceed all expectations.
Thanks for your Participation and Support
I would only like to add that we appreciate the incredible support our community has provided us thus far. You have all helped us grow and encouraged us more than you might realize in our striving to make StockTwits pure uncommon value.
We would also like to thank CME Group and CBOE for their support and for placing a great deal of trust in our vision. These guys have been world class sponsors as you might expect.
