I think social media sites have peaked now, and will soon all be lost in the internet.

After submitting 2-3 articles to tipd – both related to business, my IP was banned without even a warning! I’m a regular user of digg, stumbleupon, reddit and various other sites and this is the FIRST time this has happened. What’s worse is that there’s not even a warning system in place. I can’t even go to the site because I just get a white screen with “your ip has been banned”.

I emailed Tamar Weinberg (tip’d moderator) and she said warning users “is not an efficient use of time for moderators”. She refused to unban my IP even after apologizing to her if one of my 2-3 posts submitted were somehow off-topic. I told her I just want to read the site and promise not to submit, she still refused.

Yet their FAQ reads “The Tip’d staff is committed to being an open community, and avoiding the ban first, ask questions later attitude that seems to permeate so many other social media sites.”

Very hypocritical.

I've joined Tip'd a couple of months ago. And to be frank I didn't see enough reason to go back and keep using it.. I'll give it a second chance though. We'll see.

Do you think Tipd will take off? My guess is no.

Duplicate content and Spam are what destroy new social media sites. Let's see how Tipd handles the situation. It looks like a nice site and we need to give it a chance to prove itself and stand out.
@stefaniehartman, Tipd may have been officially launched on Nov 18 2008 but it was actually created on 07-Jun-2000. That's enough time to get high PR.

Tipd.com seems cool as a social media site for business topics. Or else google would have not give them a PR 5 rating at such a short span.

Tip'd is definitely a pretty cool idea. With the advent of social meadia platforms like pligg and swcms, more and more of these social bookmarking niche sites will be springing up.
