Last friday, at exactly 10am PST, we launched Chart.ly - our latest “rule the twitterverse” venture. Chart.ly has a very simple premise - upload stock charts on twitter and share it with others. Easy as that. Making it any more complex would defeat the purpose of it being a twitter app in the first place.

The idea is all Timothy Sykes. He’s been bugging me since last year to develop a stock charting website where users could upload and share charts with the trading community. We tried developing a wordpress based site - but I just didn’t feel right about it. So we kept that idea in the back burner (along with a LOT of ideas) until a chance rendezvous with Howard Lindzon in Phenoix late last March got them talking again of having a chart sharing option for Stocktwits. As you may already know by now, Stocktwits is THE twitter app to be on if you are a trader or an investor… with real-time tweets auto-updating from over 50,000 members, stocktwits is the perfect solution to keep track of all the latest news and trends in the stock world.

Tim introduced me to Lindzon and his team (@sorenmacbeth and @ppearlman) and we got cracking! We started the project around the 3rd of April and exactly three weeks later, I present to you the beta version of Chart.ly.

Chart.ly is a beautiful website - and I’m not just saying that because I designed it. Look at how active the community is in just 3 days of launch - there are over 200 charts already uploaded and close to a 1000 active users, all in less than a week! It’s a great addition to the Stocktwits community as well - traders can now tweet about stocks and charts all in 1 place, not to mention browse through all the charts that others in community have uploaded. There are charts linked to blog posts, charts linked to message forums, charts linked to press releases, charts being spammed (already!), charts put up to teach, charts on the general market trends etc etc… the list just goes on!

The quiet before the storm! You know we’re up to something when this blog doesn’t get updated as often as it needs to be and my tweets go down to 1 a day. Well, I’m pleased to announce that we’ve been working hard on a brand new twitter app that will be launching very very soon. Usually I like to give out a little hint before we launch something major - but this time I’m going to keep tight lipped and just make you wait :-) (it’s just THAT awesome!)

We’ve collaborated with a great team who is simply one of the best out there at what they do - and overall, we’re pretty excited to launch. If you like to be the first to know - add me @pallian on twitter and keep an eye out for my tweets… I may start giving out little hints over the next few days.

We’re also actively working on a new version of tweetizen. This next release will have so many new features that I fear it may overtake twitter altogether! Almost all the feedback and tips we’ve received on our feedback forum will be implemented… along with a host of new features that will make your twitter experience so much more easier. If you’re new to twitter, then tweetizen will be your one stop twitter destination. We’re scheduled to go live by the 2nd week of May.
