The Zero Boss has a mini review of Shoutwire – a social bookmarking site that is similar to Digg but that covers a wider array of topics (Digg is just technology related).
It could be a useful tool if it takes off.
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip - Twitter Tips.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

If you like Shoutwire you should check out TailRank….
Shoutwire is basically just a Digg clone. Maybe digg with a few more subtle features but there doesn’t seem like much vision here (but I’m biased). If it’s just a feature race I’m sure digg will just add them.
Also.. rumor has it that Shoutwire is owned by the guys that did torrentspy (which is a Bittorrent warez site) …. there are certainly some ethical issues here.

Nice link Kevin, but the design in TailRank is pretty much awful, i find it very hard to navigate there, although i beilive it is as good as ShoutWire.
I signed up with ShoutWire, it’s nice, smooth, and useful…i just hope more and more people will join.

Hey A. H.
We’re working on the design. I’ve heard this from some other people too so I want it fixed ASAP.
Thanks!

It’s been almost a year and the tailrank layout still blows. Shoutwire is still the best.
