Dow Jones MarketWatch Goes Social

Dow Jones MarketWatch Goes Social
The MarketWatch financial news web site is getting a fresh coat of web 2.0 paint today with the official beta release of the MarketWatch Community. The community site adds commenting, tagging, and rating to every article offered by MarketWatch. The site also ties in standard social network features, such as bios, avatars, and friends lists.

The community features will be rolled out to the MarketWatch at large site conservatively via a sidebar widget. The widget will allow any member of the community site to rate, tag, or comment on articles throughout the site. Other new features will only be available via the dedicated community area.

Fresh coat indeed. Fresh coat of incompetence. Isn’t this pleasant, ‘Exceptional’ programming.
