> The key point to understand about Bloomberg is that it’s both a software product and a social network. The software product determined who would join the network, but the network is what keeps users there. It’s like a multiplayer video game, or Harvard: Sure, the quests and campus are useful, but people keep showing up because of the friends they’ve made or the connections they intend to make.
From https://marker.medium.com/why-its-hard-to-kill-the-bloomberg... which has a great overview of this point
We plan to add interactive communities and messaging to Feather. We expect a large number of well-informed investors on our platform, so the conversation should be value-add for all.
And again, goes without saying but we offer the same high quality of data as Bloomberg et al. for 5 percent of the price, and our mission really is to enable you to take your investment performance to the next level, at a price that doesn't break the bank :)
