Getting up-to-the-minute stock info on your mobile device can be challenging. What if you could do it through good ol’ Twitter rather than mobile browsing or installing another mobile application? Now you can, and it couldn’t be easier.
ChirpBot’s stock quotes channel doesn’t require any installation or configuration – it’s ready to go. All you need to do is send an @reply or direct message to ChirpBot on Twitter. In your message use the quote command, then specify the ticker symbol for the stock you’d like to monitor (e.g. MSFT for Microsoft). So, your @reply would look like this: @chirpbot quote msft
And a direct (private) message would look like this: d chirpbot quote msft
Within seconds you’ll receive either an @reply or direct message to your Twitter ID from ChirpBot that includes the latest stock market info for that stock.
Happy trading!
