Stocktwits is to twitter what fnchart is to Reddit.

Stock twits is basically: Stock Chart + Twitter. fnchart is basically: Stock Chart + Reddit.

We then build on top of that a whole new way to navigate historical posts, so that you can actually look and interact with a stock chart by pulling up news & discussion from any time in the history of the stock.

Here's a scenario: You're interested in stock AAA, but you notice on the chart that it fell 30% 2 years ago, and hasn't begun recovering yet. But today you read that they are embarking on a big turn around plan. So you click on the time period on the chart 2 years ago to find out what the cause of the drop was. You find out it was a critical supplier that went bankrupt, and they have only now found a replacement.

Now you can decide whether to buy their stock or not, and you are informed about the context.
