Tip’d: A Financial Focus on Social Bookmarking
Filed under: Blog
A few weeks ago, I heard about a new social bookmarking service that was starting up. I’m not usually into following “social-whatever” trends, but this one caught my eye. The service was curiously named Tip’d and it offered Digg-style voting for finance-related topics. I signed up and immediately fell in love with the service.
Niche sites such as Tip’d are great if you don’t feel like wading through the noise in the Digg community. As a reader, it helps you find what you’re looking for faster. As a publisher, you have a better chance that your content will be seen by the eyes you’re targeting. Add to that a strong application, a growing community, and a nice visual style, and Tip’d quickly became one of my favorites.
Tip’d boasts nearly 1800 registered members and a growing list of partner sites helping to continue to grow the site. With the public release, they also introduced a few new features and improvements:
- Private messaging between users
- A 3-minute edit window for story submissions
- 12 categories for organizing the stories
- A new server to speed up user interaction
- And a “Topple” button, just in case some spam slips through the cracks
I encourage you to give Tip’d a look and find me while you’re there. My username is ThatOneCaveman. While you’re there, feel free to promote your favorite articles from my blog and others so Tip’d can grow and continue to offer the best of the finance world right on your desktop.
