SpotPlex

SpotPlex is the new Digg. Kicked this one around a bit this morning. It does address one of the challenges with Digg - the fact that users submit stories directly. This one crawls participating sites directly and ranks according to how many people read the stories. When I tested it, I found it to be a bit slow. Worth keeping an eye on this one.

Revolution?

Steve Case has a new venture, modestly named Revolution Health. This is a big play in the consumer medical arena and it will be watched closely. I had a run through some of the tools and it's clear that the Website has a lot to offer. Let's hope the powerful Board of Directors (Colin Powell, Carly Fiorina, Jim Barksdale, and others) can help get things moving in the healthcare sector. It's about time.

Organized Wisdom

Had a look at Organized Wisdom today. Interesting venture with some promise. I wish they had a simple description of what job the site can do for you. The video is helpful, but not all people have speakers on or can listen to video while they surf (people at work know what I mean). Check it out a let me know what you think.

Quintera

Try this one out Quintura. I like the fact that you can use it to get ideas on a topic or keyword. Could be useful for those of you that are doing some brainstorming on your market or competition. Enjoy!

Pay to blog?

I'm not sure what to make of payperpost.com. The concept: get marketers to pay bloggers to post about their brands. The publicity may be useful, but the bloggers credibility can easily be called into question. Hey, aren't we trying to kill big media for that exact reason?
