My Facebook Wall Dialogue with Bigi

Bigi L.: Why is there a dollar sign before every stock ticker you mention in your status? it happens even when you say "GOOG Finance". twitter/facebook doing something funny?
Steven L.: I manually input the $ to prefix all stock symbols. There's a guy on Twitter (Soren) that aggregates all stock tweets related and collects this data. Many of the stock traders are doing this to contribute to this collection of data. You can view the aggregated tweets on the Tumblr page: http://stocktweets.tumblr.com. It's neat and could be useful in the future. It's one way of being able to make sense of this data.
