Redesigned Kiplinger.com Features Tip’d Widget

by Jimmy on November 17, 2009

On October 28, Tip’d partner Kiplinger.com went live with a new site design. Of particular interest to Tip’d members is the Kiplinger’s new Tip’d widget, which displays the five most recent Kiplinger.com stories that have been published to the Tip’d home page. The widget is featured in the sidebar on all individual article pages. (For an example, see the widget in the sidebar near the bottom of this post.)

So far, the response has been very good, as the widget has been sending hundreds of new visitors to Tip’d each day since the new design launched.

Widget-market-leader AddThis has introduced a new feature today–the smart menu. As of today, if you use an AddThis widget to submit or Tip a story, then every subsequent share with AddThis will have Tip’d as a sharing option within the compact menu, which comes up when you hover over the AddThis button. Very cool stuff. And the effect will stay with you across the over-400,000 sites currently using AddThis. So next time you see an Addthis button on a great financial article, make sure to use the widget to Tip it!

We’ve been pretty quiet lately here at Tip’d HQ, but the site’s traffic, activity and community keep truckin’ along. :-) I’m happy to announce we’ve gotten some awesome integrations from top tier apps and publishers in the past month: [click to continue…]

Tip’d Hits 10,000 Registered Users!

by Andy on June 25, 2009

Tip’d hit 10,000 registered users earlier this week. Actually, in the past two months, user registrations have been slowly but surely creeping up. I credit Tamar’s hard work in keeping the community and discussion clean and spam-free! ;-)

10k may be small potatoes compared to Digg or Twitter but we think it’s pretty good for a bootstrapped social finance site. Next stop, 100k!
