People Are Speaking, Markets Are Reacting, Fears Are Falling And Hackers Are Gonna Hack!

Editor?s note: Howard Lindzon is co-founder and CEO of StockTwits, a social network for traders and investors to share real-time ideas and information. The markets are not changing so much as the technology that makes markets move. The technology has enabled machines to ping each other at speeds that give them an edge over humans (at least in the very short-term) and people are connected to other machines and people in ways that can't be quantified. The social web and the leverage from these connections have the media confused, and it seems angry, if not completely wrong.
