Amid all the chaos, Twitter has introduced a useful feature that lets you search for listed company stocks and cryptocurrency prices.
All the user has to do is enter the dollar sign followed by the corresponding ticker symbol, eg “$GOOG” or “$ETH” (minus the quotation marks) into the search bar and Twitter will display the current price. This works in some cases without using the $ symbol, but is less consistent and doesn’t always return the requested stock or crypto prices.
However, when it works, users see a static image showing today’s stock price and a chart with no information about the X or Y axis. So good luck figuring that out. It’s probably a stock chart for that stock’s last close, but it’s not quite as clear.
But if someone wants to know more details about a stock or cryptocurrency, they can click the View on Robinhood button.
As an app researcher Jane Manchun Wong As mentioned, the logo on the image indicates that Twitter is getting the data from the Tradingview website. The social media company hasn’t made it clear if it has any type of commercial partnership with Robinhood or TradingView.
Twitter did not specify which symbols are included in the stock price search direct results list. The enterprise added that in the coming weeks it will refine the user experience and add better icon compatibility. For example, at the time of writing, stock prices from companies like Airbnb ($ABNB) and Zoom ($ZM) didn’t show up in Twitter searches.
Chaos on Twitter
It’s been a busy few months on Twitter since Musk came on the scene. In the past week alone, the company implemented and quickly reversed a policy that banned links and handles to other social networks like Facebook, Instagram, and Mastadon. The company also introduced the Blue for Business plan, which allows organizations to identify their affiliated brands and employees with an additional badge.
Elsewhere, Elon Musk conducted a poll asking people if he should step down as CEO — and 57% of users voted yes. A few days later, Musk said in a tweet, “I will step down as CEO as soon as I find someone stupid enough to take the job!” After that, I will just lead the software and server teams.”
In a Twitter space late Tuesday, Musk defended his drastic cost-cutting antics and overhaul of the company’s paid plan. He said without those actions, Twitter would have been in negative cash flow within the next year.
