However, this site focuses on sharing high quality investment news items instead of stock tips and picks. This helps the site avoid the pitfalls associated with stock picks and herd mentality that can kill novice investor returns. Members bookmark and tag investment stories they find. Using a Reddit style voting system, only the highest quality story links make it to the front page and bad stories are deleted. The site uses Google Adsense revenue sharing and a monthly user-points prize system to motivate members. (James Altucher of Stockpickr actually sponsored this <a href="http://www.valueinvestingnews.com/december-contest" rel="nofollow">past month's contest</a>.) You can syndicate your bookmarks or the front page stories on to your own blog using RSS feeds and widgets. There is also a sophisticated algorithm used to generate story recommendations based on your voting patterns and those of other members. The site is only a few months old so we are open to any suggestions for improvement. On a similar note, Value Investing News is another “investing 2.0″ site.

While I'm not saying that there isn't any value in them at all, the one thing most investors do not lack is information, and these sites just create more information (much of it useless) for investors to digest and consider. Anybody relying on these sites to make investment decisions has already lost the game. Money is not made playing the market (or "investing"). It's made in making the market.

Beautiful design, easy to use, nice pie charts! So my idea........ We all know people LOVE to talk about THEIR stocks. So I would like to see something like socialpicks, but perhaps w/ a bit more of a blog'ish / myspace feel to it. But we really don't want every page to look the same. You control the layout. Imagine controlling your own financial web page...your real estate. You "run" your own stories. Import others writeups that you agree with. Support RSS. Of course, all the "financial widgets" you could possibly want are available at your disposal to help create your site. Even add your own video rants like Cramer ! You become Cramer, get it? :) The basic idea is....give people a platform to boast/promote their picks at their own "personal url" using whatever layout / widgets they choose. It would be like myspace for 40 year olds ! Well Mike since u asked :), I checked out some of the other sites mentioned here and I really like the look of socialpicks.

The only challenge is that he puts out so many recommendations. Not a bad move from the Street.com.
