Interesting.  I'll see if they can match or beat my feeder. Thanks for the find.

The network will be available on Twitter at @tictoc (twitter.com/tictoc). TicToc will feature a mix of breaking news content culled from Twitter — curated and verified by Bloomberg — and Bloomberg’s own live video reporting. It’s a completely separate product from Bloomberg Television, according to the New York-based company.

Bloomberg Media has landed six initial sponsors for TicToc: AT&T, CA Technologies, CME Group, Goldman Sachs, Infiniti, and TD Ameritrade. Each is paying between $1.5 million-$3 million as presenting partners, according a report by Axios.

It just provided news roughly in line with my feeder sessions and the format definitely sucked. I dropped it. 

It did occur to me that Bloomberg is one of the few companies that might make use of twitter as a content provider, maybe even enough to turn a profit out of it by piping it through to his other media outlets. He ought to buy it.
