Marvelade, Have you looked into the Twitter Search API? It's common to have users tag their messages on a common topic with a hashtag such as #stock and perform a query on that tag: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23stocks. Information on the Search API is found here [1].
This makes it very easy to have users participate in the conversation with no setup required, other than a Twitter account and a phone with a client or SMS text messages.
