We’re released a number of updates today in preparation for the next major feature release. We’ve tightened up security by adding a whole new level of password and access encryption. Rehauled our feedback and contact system, and cleaned up the live news portal.
More stuff is coming, stay tuned.
Here in SaneBull, we’re big fans of Twitter. We see the potential, enjoy the chatter, and see more and more people utilizing it in a meaningfull way to pass the information along. While we’re pondering how Twitter could and will work with SaneBull, we’ve released a couple of widgets to let you glimpse what the current stock sentiment is. Much like the other Twitter bots, SaneBull bot will scan your posts for $SYMBOL and aggregate your wisdom along with everyone else who uses this format. Follow our bot and your symbols will be part of the list as well.
Market Tweets widget will continuously query twitter.com for any financial or market related news. The widget will retrieve and show the data within the widget. Because the news is posted “as-they-happen”, you will only need to monitor the data on this widget to keep abreast with the market pulse and sentiment of Twitter users.
Stock Tweets is the same widget, except we allow you to retrieve a particular symbol you want to keep track of. Grab yours here.
Enjoy!
Just a quick update on the Live News Portal:
Rolling over the news stories now shows you a preview box containing the date of the story, the stocks being discussed and a brief description.
Additionally, we have also added Yahoo! News to the stock-specific news pages.
This week we’ve rolled out an online news portal, called SaneBull Live News. The news portal is updated every 15 minutes with the latest headlines from all of the main financial sectors.
We wanted to provide you with a birds-eye view of the top financial stories of the day. So we made the first thing you see an easy to follow list of the most talked about stocks of the last 24 hours, as well as the top financial news stories for that day.
On the individual article pages you will find an easy-to-use “AddThis” button alongside a shortened article URL for easy copying n’ pasting.
The portal is powered by Reuter’s Spotlight and Calais services, so we want to send a big thanks to the team at Reuters!
We are very much interested in hearing your feedback about the live news portal, so please email us your suggestions or simply drop a comment below. Thanks!
SaneBull has recently experienced explosive growth and we would like to take a moment to thank everyone using our widget and market monitor service.
Speaking of users, we’d like to extend a sincere thanks to Brett of TraderFeed and Kirk of The Kirk Report. You guys rock on your very own, but linking to us lets your readers know how you keep the edge 
Enjoy, and many thanks.
Ahhh, the wonderful world of plugins! We are proud to introduce the SaneBull Live Stock Quote for Wordpress.
Click here for the SaneBull WordPress Plugins page
To install the plugin, simply unzip the files into your wp-content/plugins directory and activate the plugins through the admin panel. Once the plugin is activated, setup the stock symbol/keyword list through WP-Admin » Settings » SaneBull Quote. From now on, whenever you use one of the specified keywords in your posts or pages, it will be automatically converted to a SaneBull Live Stock widget.
This plugin allows you to link specified keywords (company names, stock symbols, etc.) to the live stock quote widget. When your visitor rolls over his or her mouse over the keyword, it will automatically show the company stock data. If the visitor clicks on the keyword, the company’s chart will also be displayed. Here’s an example: Google (GOOG) and Yahoo! (YHOO) are great companies.
You can download the plugin by visiting the plugins page, or simply click the following link:

Welcome to the SaneBull Blog.
Believe it or not, it took more effort to launch this blog than it did to build the SaneBull Market Monitor. For those of you who don’t know much about SaneBull, it is an online financial platform that provides real-time market research data, finance widgets, a multitude of stock market plugins, and soon, a real-time news portal. As we continue to add new functionality, widgets, and plugins, we are keen to improve what’s already there. It’s no surprise then, that our widgets are now seen by more than 5 million people a month. As our user base continues to grow, we have come to realize that the goal of most webmasters is not only to present their visitors with useful stock market data, but also to shape the look and feel of that data to fit their needs.
To tackle the problem, we are working on our super-secret widget customizer. Some of its features include the ability to customize data, how it’s displayed, and how it interacts. You’ll be able to choose from stocks, currencies, commodities, futures and indexes. Change the background, edit the width and height, and if that’s not enough, alter what data is displayed (volume, range, company name, and much more).
As always, we welcome your advice and ideas, and take the extra step to individually reply to every suggestion that you send us. SaneBull is a small company, so we may not always reply as quickly as we would like, but rest assured, we always read and act upon your suggestions.
Signing off,
The SaneBull Team.
