It was only a matter of time before an app was was built to support another app that was built for Twitter. Chart.ly is a stock charting app to be used directly in conjunction with another Twitter app, StockTwits. Chart.ly lets Twitter users upload and share stock charts via Twitter and StockTwits. It’s kind of like TwitPic for stock charts.
Chart.ly lets you upload a chart of a particular stock with stock symbol and tags, and lets you include a tweet about the chart. This is then broadcast to your Twitter account and to StockTwits, which is a community for Tweets about stocks and investments. You can also see the most popular charts that have been uploaded on the Chart.ly site.
Chart.ly has collaborated fully with StockTwits. In fact, StockTwits and Chart.ly creator Adarsh Pallian share ad revenue from Chart.ly (StockTwits owns 80% and Pallian owns 20% equity and revenue share).
The frustrating part about the site is that it doesn’t let you create charts for stocks—you have to generate a chart independently and then upload it onto the site. You can get a stock chart from sites like Finviz.com or Wikinvest.com and then upload, but it would be easier to do everything in one place. Pallian says that the site is going to launch the ability to create your own chart within Chart.ly and tweet about it directly in the next few weeks.
oooh…ooh wait, I’m exci….
No. I am not.
exactly
pretty much the most useless app out there! can someone explain why this even exists? to share charts? the site doesn’t even pull in charts, you have to post them… and the information is poorly presented…
this is a joke techcrunch!
Welcome to TwitterCrunch.
The daily online news site that feeds you with everything Twitter and the other stuffs.
Wow, so much press already, Adarsh Pallian and I partnered on this 50/50 and Stocktwits is involved too, patience people, more and more features are coming sooon….
Congratulations on this launch Tim. Site looks great.
my bad, stocktwits is more than just involved, we built this thing specifically for them as it’d be pretty useless without em
tim – bad product – pull the plug bud
Chart.ly looks great. We’ve added support for it on Tweetree so you can see the charts directly in your stream when using Tweetree.
so what? this is hardly ground breaking stuff here…
please tell me you did not just promote something from this timothy sykes guy….
next will be chris r & locator dude
secret sauce to get plugged on techcrunch = twitter api

spammy tim and his spammy alerts, now he can push out on tiwtter!
How is stocktweet different from cakefinancial ? I think that stocktweet is useless compared to cakefinancial.
Adarsh, the guy who wrote this, is an incredible developer.
He’s the one who gave TechCrunch a heads up on a Twitter issue the other day.

This was built using Aqumin’s AlphaVision. Twitter integration is coming in a future version, but we’re already scoring stocks based on their twitter score.
One of our employees is actually doing quite well in the our company stock game by shorting the nanos that people are twittering about.

I do not like twitter its way to over-rated
