When Tip’d first launched a while back, I talked about this social news portal in some detail. Well the guys there have worked hard to get Tip’d growing at a great pace. A lot of my blogging peers use it often and it’s a place where you’ll find high quality financial information and articles to enjoy and learn from.
Today, Tip’d is launching their 2.0 version and it has the following great features! Let’s take a look at the new stuff:
Tip’d 2.0 Features Money Articles and Other Financial Content
1. Tip’d SocialTickers
Okay, this is cool. If you’ve got a ticker symbol you’re tracking, you’ll get a fresh perspective when you check out Tipd’s stock ticker list. If you want to investigate something like AIG (harumph!), then take a look at AIG’s SocialTicker page. A SocialTicker page incorporates the most recent Tip’d stories, blog posts, bookmarks, tweets and resources that pertain to a particular stock symbol. Thus, if you want to get the buzz and the latest “dirt” on something, you can do so via Tip’d!
2. Tip’d Videos
Tip’d now supports the submission of financial and business videos. You can now submit, share and watch videos through Tip’d just as easily as you can any other regular article. You can take a look at the Tip’d videos here. When you click on a thumbnail you see on the video page, a pop up will appear and play the show for you.
3. Who’s in the Top 100? Top Community Members
Tip’d acknowledges those who’ve been active contributors and members of their site. They have the Top 100 domains page, which shows you those folks who have participated in Tip’d in a big way. I see a lot of familiar names in the list for sure (sad to say, we aren’t in it)! I need to get moving on using Tip’d more often so I can make that page!
In addition, Tip’d includes a Top Ambassadors page to list those who have been active recruiters of new members for the community, and a Tip’d Greatest Hits page which highlights the most popular articles ever featured on the Tip’d homepage.
After seeing this thriving community, yes, I feel guilty that I haven’t been a more active member at Tip’d. I’m hoping I can change my ways, but have been facing a serious time crunch for some time now. It’s one of the reasons I’m not a big Twitter person either. Ack. I really should get into the social networking scene more, huh?

I’ve been a user of Tip’d, but not sure that I’ve noticed anything “2.0″ yet – and I’m not on the Top 100 users list (yet), either. I think it’s pretty hectic for us to feel we have to keep keeping up with all the new “social” networking changes. They’re just going to start happening too fast – I might even say soon we’re going to be in a big “social networking bubble” that’s about to pop. The video going around about “Flutter” – a mockumentary about a Twitter parody is a great case in point – it’s pretty funny too, you should check it out.
(I just wanted to quickly say, too, that I’m going to be hosting the new Carnival of Cashflow Consciousness – for any pf bloggers who might be interested, email me your articles on any topics relating to investing for more income and cashflow, etc.)
