StockDigg - Get Financial News

Saturday February 11, 2006
StockDigg is much like Digg in that users find and tag the news that they are interested in, except that StockDigg is focused primarily on financial news rather than technology news. More from the site:
"StockDigg is a financial website that provides investors access to major financial news as well as user-submitted stories (e.g. stock picks and analysis) and individual stock rankings by investors. With StockDigg, users rank stocks and submit stories, which are reviewed (i.e. ranked and tagged) by other investors. Only the most timely, relevant, and valuable stories go to the front page."
So if you're monitoring your vastly overpriced Google stocks and want to catch news as it happens, you might want to check out StockDigg.

Related: Digg vs. Dot is an ongoing experiment to see which social networking site gets the story first: Slashdot or Digg. You can also read about Clipfire, a community shopping search engine with a novel twist - it's also a community where you can post good deals, shopping sites that you like, products that you are particularly fond of, and more. It's like Digg but focused on shopping instead of technology. Last but not least, Yahoo Answers is a bit like Digg in that it takes Digg and message boards and makes them into a virtual Reese's peanut butter cup of answer-y goodness (remember those old commericals? You put my peanut butter into my chocolate..you put my Digg into your message boards...it kind of works).
