Introducing New - and Very Convenient - Features on Cake

author Posted by: Erica Friedman on date Jun 19th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Product Announcements

Cake exists to help you be a better investor.  And part of the challenge of being a better investor is, of course, figuring out how to stay on top of the slew of news, activity, etc.

So the team here is pleased to announce a new solution to deal with all of this information:  We’ve upgraded your My Home page to help you keep a pulse on the activity, commentary and insights that are important to you– all on one page.

Let’s take a tour:

A. Pilot, we’ve got a left-hand navigation.  Now your "My" pages and a view of your public profile are just a click away.

B.  Your best and worst holding over the past 30 days are easier than ever to identify.

C.  All of your Network Activity is summarized for you and, once you Log in, you’ll see all the good details right on your page.

D. Your News Feed of daily Network Activity now tells you more about what people are trading, saying, and watching.  You’ll find fresh information in your daily feed, including:

  • News of when people you are Following, or people you’re Contacts with, trade, post, or add an item to their Watchlist
  • Updates when there’s a new Talk post about a position you’re holding or watching
  • Notice when your contacts decide to Follow investors– or add
    them as Contacts, making it easier for you to discover investors
  • and more…

To adjust any of your feed or privacy settings, go to Account Settings.

E.  Write a Talk post right from your My Home page.  You see that your friend adds NOSN to his Watchlist.  You ask him why.  Easy as pie.

F.  Enjoy better charts and, after you Log in, an At-a-Glance look at your Net Worth

G.  Our nearly-famous video show, The Slice, can be watched right in your Home page

There are also 35 more brokerages now available!
