If you haven’t yet signed up at Tipd.com, now would be a good day: Tip’d 2.0 has launched. The new version of Tip’d features several big updates, including social stock tickers, an investing videos category, and the Tip’d Top 100 (most popular financial Web sites).
Tip’d SocialTickers
Probably the most newsworthy of the new features at Tip’d is the SocialTickers feature. These are “ticker” pages for every stock traded on the NYSE and NASDAQ, except they’re not a traditional ticker page like you’d see on Yahoo! Finance, with charts and numbers. Instead, they provide buzz on the particular stock from around the Web, importing commentary from social sites like Twitter, Technorati, Delicious and more. For example, here are some of the most active tickers:
Tip’d Videos
Video was an obvious move for Tip’d: a lot of the best financial content is in text form, of course, but if you have to pick a second-place format, it’s definitely video. Tip’d 2.0 features integration with YouTube and Google Video, so clips from those sites actually load in a pop-up at Tipd.com (no need to click through to the video site). There’s also an investing videos RSS feed, so if you just want to get the latest videos (rather than all Tip’d news), you can subscribe to that.
Tip’d Top 100
One other feature worth a mention is the Tip’d Top 100. Basically, it’s a list of the domains featured the most on the Tip’d homepage (stories which go “hot”). Interesting to see which of these Web sites are producing the most buzzworthy (Tip’d-friendly) articles. Of course, a lot of these are publishers that participate in the Tip’d community (carrying the Tip it! button on their site, and submitting their own stories). Tip’d can send 1-300 referrals for a homepage’d story, so if you write for a finance or investing blog, you may want to add the ‘Tip it!’ button to your blog template.
(Disclosure: Bankling management has an ownership interest in Tip’d.)
