Niche Social Bookmarking Sites
Here is a blog entry about Tip’d, a new social bookmarking site geared towards financial information. The blogger poses an interesting question: is there a future for focused, niche sites like this? A large part of the utility of del.icio.us is it helps you find find quality information that has been tagged by people that have a shared interest. My answer, then, is yes! I don’t know if I would use Tip’d to bookmark stuff, but I love the front page, listing some of the top recent financial news stories, and I would definitely use it for financial news. Hopefully it will catch on and attract enough users to be really valuable.
