StockTweets is a platform that grants users seamless access to important information needed when investing. We focused on a simple yet informative interface that would be accessible to both newbies and stock market experts. Not only was this information skewed, but scraping through Twitter during critical times proved to be time-consuming, which meant missing critical opportunity windows in the fast-moving market.Īs a response to this issue, we created StockTweets, a platform that displays real-time stock market data and public sentiment all in the same place. As avid investors ourselves, we found it difficult scrolling through “cashtags” on Twitter to analyze trends on how the media was feeling about a certain stock: feeds were either blockaded with majority positive or majority negative tweets. Platforms such as Twitter and Reddit have largely influenced the trajectory of a stock, with companies such as Gamestop and AMC as prime examples. From recent events, we’ve seen how social media plays a significant role in the stock market.
