Zecco Brings Financial Trading To Facebook
There has been a huge amount of buzz around the IPO of Linkedin for the last week and this week financial trading goes a step further with the buying and selling of stock coming directly to the Facebook platform. Launching minutes ago here at Techcrunch Disrupt the Zecco platform allows you to buy any shares that are available on the Dow Jones. The app has a very deep integration with Facebook and taps in to all the social elements of the world’s biggest social network including giving you real time charts and showing you what your friends are up to socially in terms of getting stocks. You’ll have to sign up to their terms and conditions to start trading actual money but you can start using the app immediately to get info on your favorite stocks and start sharing that info with your social graph.
Easy To Use And Social
The app is incredibly simple to use and you don’t even need to trade stocks on the platform to use it. Getting the information from the app and seeing what other people you trust are investing in makes this an incredibly powerful tool. As you can see form the screen grab of the app down below I can already buy Linkedin shares within a couple of clicks and all my friends being baked in to the service makes it easy for me to interact and share information.
Using The App
The app is free to use at the start and you can connect within a couple of clicks which pulls in all your Facebook data. The little things like the actual charts with real data appearing in your feed when you share them is incredibly powerful. We have seen Stock Twits work well on Twitter but this is really the first major movement towards stock trading that I have seen on Facebook. The sharing of data between you and your friends is also incredibly easy with once click sharing and an active stream of comments also happens under each stock price letting you see what people really think.
