Stock Market Chatter on Twitter

The Stock Market tanked again yesterday. We are back to more or less where we were at the beginning of the week. So what are folks talking about the current state of the Stock Market. Twitter, YouTube, Blogs, Print Media are some of the places where one can find, what is being discussed about the current Stock Market situation.

I have pulled content from Twitter and YouTube which shows the current Stock Market Chatter.

"Economic Terrorism" trending high - Google Trends

While working on a mashup related to stock market I bumped into the words "Economic Terrorism" on Twitter. Also noticed that "Economic Terrorism" was trending high at Google Trends.

A while ago I had created a mashup (Google Trends + Google Maps) which shows the top 10 cities (historical data) searching for a given keyword. Topping the list for Economic Terrorism (only 6 cities shown) - New Delhi, Singapore, New York, Washington D.C., Sydney, London. Not sure about Singapore but all these countries (India, United States, Great Britain, Australia) have been affected by terrorism.

So is the current Stock Market crash a case of "Economic Terrorism"?. My 2 cents-This cannot be possible because we are talking about trillions of dollars, so who could have the resources to do this kind of thing.

(OK now Economic Terrorism has dropped from #5 to #24 on Google Trends)
