I was googling around to see what exists in terms of stock-related offerings to social networks. One blog post I found listed several minor sites. The main one seems to be SocialPicks. There's also a site called Herd St., and some other obscure ones like BigSmarty and UpDown.
Personally, I'm not interested in yet another SNS. I'm looking for a site that allows stock performance tracking with minimal noise. Some people don't care for sharing exactly what they're trading, but wouldn't mind to export their annualized ROI. A simple, functional site to keep track, and possibly export performance information to other web applications. An issue would be gleaning out the historic numbers from feeds.
Google Gadgets has a JavaScript API for retrieving stock data. Apparently they get their data from a company called CSI. Still, Google Finance exports all exchange data in the JavaScript of the individual stock pages, which could be used to get at least 5 years of data, possibly more.
