Social Network For Financial Set

MarketWatch.com, a division of Dow Jones, has launched a MarketWatch Community where users can create profiles and share information, as well as suggestions, with one another.

All stories can be tagged by the users and will be added to the community tag cloud so that members can find the stories related to the subjects that interest them. You also have the ability to just look through the latest stories and see which ones other users found the most worthwhile by glancing at the five star system.

Like any blog or news aggregator today, you can leave comments on the stories and discuss the happenings of the day, but with the financial leaning of the site, you never know what sort of pointers you might pick up. Also along those same lines, you can make fantasy stock picks: the better you do, the more points you score.

The site is live now, but it is unclear if this is the exact site that was rumored to be coming from a combination of Dow Jones and IAC as far back as March. It is difficult to believe Dow Jones would be involved in two such sites, but odder things have happened.
