Show HN: Browser Extension for Finance on Twitter

[andyswan]

Would like your feedback, etc. This is our first browser extension... we built it because as investors/traders and twitterers we wanted it to exist.

Does 4 things on twitter.com

1. Automatically inserts real-time, streaming quotes after cashtags (ticker symbols) on Twitter.com

2. Highlights tweets with cashtags for easy scanning

3. "Cashtags ONLY" button filters out all tweets that don't contain cashtags! Find the financial signal among social media noise.

4. Stock Info Dock is there to give you more info about the cashtag you click on. Expand to see real-time quotes, charts and company info. Why leave the page you're on for basic info?

Thanks. Yes that was the goal...just built something we wanted to use.

why it need access to all websites instead of just *.twitter.com?

[andyswan]

It doesn't. I need to upload the new version that has the proper permissions there. Good question.
