SocialPicks is a social network based around stocks.
Here\u2019s the general premise behind SocialPicks: users enter their stock trading activities and thoughts. They then befriend and rate other users. Reputations are built according to a user\u2019s percentage of winning picks, quality of insights as judged by the community, and number of trades made. Requisite features of a standard social network are present: commenting, feeds, and lists of popular stocks.
In addition, their BlogTracker feature is quite interesting \u2013 and a possible selling point. Bloggers can submit their financial blog to SocialPicks. They\u2019ll parse the RSS feed to try and determine when the blogger is giving an opinion on the future performance of a stock. It appears that this is human verified.«Less
