Alacra Pumps Up Its Information Heartbeat
July 24, 2009
Alacra, http://www.alacra.com, a technology company that aggregates content online, is extending its reach into real time information access and dispersal by adding Twitter and social bookmarking functions into Alacra Pulse. The Pulse portal, http://pulse.alacra.com, gathers and sorts investment industry news and blogs from the open web, tags key business events, and presents the information in an easy-to-use format at a single access point. The new features, Tweet This and Share This, assist in distributing information out of Pulse. They are designed to make it easier for users to share and track links to information on the site. Tweet This facilitates Twitter pre-programming, and a one-click integration with StockTwits, an open, community-powered investment idea and information service, gives users access to right-now announcements, tips, and even insider info while dispersing their own news that much faster. The Share This plugin punches right into big social sites like Facebook or business networks like Linked In. It also taps all those bookmark sites like delicious, digg, etc.
By expanding further into social media, Alacra is strengthening its search finger’s grip on the “pulse” of the business world. Real time information is the name of the game, and this dive into immediate feed data is, in our opinion, pushing Alacra a step ahead of similar services offered by Yellowbrix, Connotate, and Relegence. As the Internet moves even further into a dynamic business environment, tools like Alacra Pulse will be even more critical to those who need to be in the know.
