Announcing the UpDown Friends Feed: See What Your Friends Are Doing
Members frequently ask for is insight into what other members are doing, including the ability to view each other’s portfolios. We’ve resisted this, becasue we want to see how each member does on their own.
But in our Facebook application we have published trading information, specifically when a member makes a buy and sell. This experiment is working well, so we’ve decided to bring it to UpDown.com.
Starting tomorrow, you’ll be able to see when a friend has:
- Made a buy, including the amount
- Made a sell, including the company name and amount
- Added another friend
- Joined a contest, group or network
We’re really excited about this new feature and think it will make the site more interesting for groups of friends.

The profile actually looks pretty snazzy, as does the friend ticker. Please add some settings to control the flow, I am buried in notifications of piddly trades!

I’d rather have the friends ranking info on back my homepage, rather than this new friends activity feed.

How was trading today? Business as usual or what? When the server crashed yesterday I got obliterated. Duplicated trades executed over and over. I would like my portfolio restored to the prior day. No evidence of anything gone wrong could be found today?

Why don’t you give any credit to stocktwits.com for the feed on the home page?
