Hey all - check out this
blog post about TipDrop, an alternative to Twitter that just might be the next big thing.
As the author/creator notes, it's much more focused than Twitter, and you can earn "credibility ratings" to help establish yourself as an expert.
As the author notes, "At TipDrop, a user creates a 'tip sheet' focused on a particular subject. The user who created the tip sheet, and other TipDrop users, can post tips to the tip sheet. The users can also vote for or against the tips on the tip sheet. Since 140 characters really isn't enough for a good tip, your tips can be up to 255 characters long. To make it even better, TipDrop is driven by what I'm calling a 'credibility engine.' Everything in the system is given a 'credibility' score: users, tip sheets and tips. The more users vote for a tip, the higher the credibility of the tip, the tip sheet and the tip-writing user. The more users that vote against the tip, the lower the credibility of those three things."
