Introducing Marketwatch Community Beta

October 17th, 2007 | Filed under: Reviews

Just recently the popular financial website, Marketwatch, presented their efforts of the on-going popular social network trend, with the launch of Marketwatch Community Beta. According to them:

MarketWatch Community is a free service that lets you discover, organize and share MarketWatch stories with other readers.

The actual site is still the same, but now they have added more of a community feel to it. Like all social networks, every user has their own page. Now as you browse through the site users are able to comment, recommend, or even estimate what will happen to the price of stocks. Everything you do will be summarized on your user page for all to see, and what would social networks be without friend capabilities? So now you can go and add all those users under the top list for most correct picks.Here is a quick glimpse of how a user page looks:

I have been using Marketwatch for a couple years already, so a feature like this will probably just make me want to use it even more. So go make an account and add me to your friends. http://community.marketwatch.com/thewild1
