Asia/Pacific Equities: @empirasign_ap
Eurozone/London Equities @empiraisign_eu
All feeds run via bots scanning live market prices for interesting events and then post to twitter. Some examples are detailed below:
New trading highs and lows:

Trend breaking moves:

Breaching of support/resitance levels (pattern recognition):
http://twitter.com/empirasign_eq/status/8592410800
Programming:
Data crunching, pattern recognition coding, chart generation: R
Twitter API, Natural Language Generation, market data manipulation: Perl (yes, unexciting, we are aware, but great glue language and a library for everything under the sun)
To do:
Make charts dynamic and annotatable to increase social aspect of market news
Create our own landing pages for new High/Low market events instead of bouncing to Yahoo or Google Finance
New url shorterner via new domain name empirasign.com/l prefix is too long
Raise funds to hire professional developers
