With a clean interface that features well laid-out modules (upcoming stories, categories, etc.), Tip’d looks less like Digg and more like a blog. But I’m pretty ambivalent about the design as it’s the content that’s had me scanning Tipd at least twice a day over the past three weeks. I find 3-5 headlines that grab my attention each day, of which maybe two are worth reading. Rarely do I find an article I would archive, as truly quality content is sparse. But this is a new service (it had 100,000 visitors in November, according to Compete), so I’m willing to be patient. If it can get itself embedded into the financial blog ecosystem the way Digg has plugged in the tech world, Tip’d could become a daily destination.
