Tech Savvy Analysts like, familiar, minimum, someone

shootingstar

How do analysts & prospectives see social media slowly seeping into their day to day work. With recent Insider trading bust using social media to pump & dump(I am not really familiar with case properly.Maybe someone in here can share more light on it), how does the street look upon social media in general.

Say how analysts in here regularly tweet(minimum 5 tweets per day) or is tweeter blocked by tech guys... Do the quant tech savvy guys do it?
Any users of social photo sharing like instagram here? I presume the street being a bit conservative does look down upon someone sharing pics all over(It could also be looked other way as personal branding for the gutsy ones looking for an exi op). I can understanding sharing pics while in dingy strip joint or after work drinking hole isn′t the best way....but overall how many in here regularly use it? Anyone tried the new one, Color?

How do prospective analysts see this? Will they conform to a street still not willing to open up?

What about txts? How many txt regularly here? Are there private pools(anon) by streeters sharing jokes, street lingo, tips etc.

Cheers all.

i don't know about you but i'm not even a ss analyst and i'm in social media blackout. i'm sure that tweeting about a stock you may hold or tweeting something that doesn't make sense (i.e. for secret code purposes) would not meet compliance rules and would automatically result in discipline. everything you publically produce must go through compliance...

Yeah, you're begin vague. To answer your questions, I think Wall Street professionals try to concentrate on their work, not wasting their time tweeting random crap. Personally, I don't like Twitter at all.

yeah its quite simple. the purpose of an analyst is to provide information at cost. to tweet is to give away for free. a tweeting analyst is an oxymoron.
