tracked.com – great business info, but still asleep at 9:00 this morning

Ian Leader: I registered on tracked.com this morning, and it’s just what I’ve been looking for – a site that lets me track news, filings, financial data etc on a list of companies I’m interested in (my particular interest is staying up to date with news on clients and prospects). I have a subscription to the Financial Times, and it should be possible to do the same thing there, but it’s just not easy, whereas tracker has a simple, friendly, responsive interface.

They’ve only just come out of stealth mode, so the following may well be a teething problem, but their news feed seems to be a bit behind – there are three articles on companies in my watch list in the FT this morning, one on the front page, and these haven’t showed up in my tracked.com news feed at 9:00 (CET) – even though they will have hit the FT web site before midnight last night.

I’ll see how things improve over the next few weeks, but I already know what I’d really like to see: tracked.com and SalesForce.com integration, so that:

  1. tracked.com will automatically populate a watchlist from the accounts I own on SalesForce.com, and
  2. latest news from tracked.com will appear in a section on the screen when I look at an account or opportunity in SalesForce.com.

Update: Michael Yavonditte from tracked.com got back to me very quickly to say they are sorting out the issue with delays in the feed.
