I think that's an example of a developer doing something because he can without regard to whether it makes sense for the users.

We are not planning to charge money, and we're not planning to turn this into a portal app or anything that makes money... This is simply a showcase / sample of what our team can build. Granted, we will add some more stuff like so wanted custom feeds, but this is most likely the extent of our investment into this. It should also answer the question of how we are making money: we show what we can do, and contract for what others need... Well, if you read carefully, you’ll notice that this is a showcase.

I like to check these sites out. I wonder how they plan to make money? I didn't notice any ads... There is a ton of overlap in social trading sites. The gradr.com people asked me if I'd like to interview them for my blog. I said I had just one question: how do they plan to differentiate themselves from all the similar sites that are popping up? I got no reply. The only one I really use so far is stocktickr, though I'm keeping my eye on bullpoo.com and socialpicks.com. They funny thing is, if you click on the person at the top of the bullpoo leaderboard, you can see that at one point he asks: "Does anyone have a real brokerage account? If so where?" That makes me especially leery of the advice you can find there. At least I know of several real traders on stocktickr. Thanks for posting this… I like to check these sites out.

You can move them around and arrange them any way you want. I agree with the "bull" in all the names: instanbull, bullpoo, sanebull, etc... Maybe it comes from having ragingbull imprinted on everyone's memory from the early years of the mania. What we need is some imagination! The overlapping windows is the ajax in action.

What's with the pop-up 'windows' which cover each other? And from my quick visit it seems like nothing but crippled a newsreader -- crippled by the fact that the list of feeds is predefined. Also, I wish all these new sites would stop putting "bull" in their names! Why not use "investor" or "trader"? Why must they all be bulls? :-) I don’t like their interface at all.
