SocialPicks

SocialPicks is an online financial services community where stock investors exchange ideas, track stock performance, and conduct research. Recently, SocialPicks announced its partnership with Reuters for Stock Buzz, a new social network product. SocialPicks is backed by Y Combinator, Bay Partners, and several Silicon Valley angel investors. The company has been given significant funding and raised $500,000 in its first round from Bay Partners.

Their service recently opened to the public and introduced Blog Tracker, a feature that lets users submit blogs which are parsed for opinions on future stock performance.

SocialPicks has been featured in The Washington Post and TechCrunch and has garnered mentions in Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. In Forbes' October 2006 issue, SocialPicks was described as "a MySpace for investors." Weiting Liu, the co-founder of SocialPicks, was recently a featured speaker at the Money:Tech Conference in New York City where he spoke about the company.
