We introduced the Slope Tiles page a little earlier this month, and we’ve already given it a bevy of improvements. The latest is one directly from a suggestion that TNRevolution made. It was regarding the comments tile, and Rev said he’d want to be able to enter a search string (which could be a ticker symbol or just regular words) so that, optionally, the comments tile would display only comments that included whatever was typed. Well, voila, we’ve done it! You can optionally enter whatever search string you want via the Edit Tiles dialog box.
If for some reason I only wanted to see comments that mentioned Palo Alto, I could do that:
Or, more realistically, maybe I just want to see TSLA comments (note how, on the tile, it will let you know if you are in fact using a search term, and what that term is):
Now I’ve done this long enough to know that folks will be saying, “Oh, cool, now add THIS and add THAT!” However, I’m really going to put Tiles to rest for a while, because we’ve got a hard, important project that needs our attention. I’m seriously pleased with how far we were able to take Tiles, and I hope you are making good use of it.
