While “one size fits all” social news sites like Digg lose more and more ground, great niche social news sites appear everywhere. There are at least 5 new niche social news sites business people and Internet pros should be aware of.
Tip’d
This new financial social news service is a great community from the start. No wonder, the legendary social news user Muhammad Saleem is one of the leading figures of the project.
EarnersClub
This is an Internet marketing social news site that focuses on the “make money” niche which grows bigger and bigger it seems. I love the colors.
BizSugar
This is a site a few of the social news power users I know from elsewhere spend much time at. I like it very much.
Design Bump
They are around for a few months already and their not only design related news are a great inspiration.
LogoSauce
LogoSauce is a site that has a very specific purpose and succeeds at it. Both logo designers and businesses looking for a logo find what they need.
As more and more people, especially serious business people and Internet pros get banned or simply bored by Digg they look for better alternatives. They find Mixx but also excellent niche social news sites like the above.

Thanks for sharing. I’m always on the lookout for new web 2.0 sites. Actually, I’m glad I came across this site because there is a lot of great stuff here. Might have to spend some time here. :)

Jerry: You’re welcome, I really like bizSugar, especially the neat logo.
@ the others: No faux flattery will make me accept spammy links and keywords as “names”. They will either get deleted or edited.
Tad, thansk for the heads on on bizSugar. Saw some familiar “faces” over there.
I’ll give a try.
Cheers

I came across this site (still in beta):
http://www.plaxo.com/
Never heard of it before today, but it seems more like a social ‘portal’ to me.
Thank you for sharing, it’s a great article and i didn’t knew these sites. Very good and unique logosauce.
Thanks for sharing. I’m always on the lookout for new web 2.0 sites. Actually, I am glad that I saw this for sure.
EarnersClub and LogoSauce looks very promising. A lot of old good quality content which I never knew is at EarnersClub.
Sugar biz looks like my favorite. Hope it lives up to my early expectations.
I also like sugarbiz. I already know it for quite a while. Thanks for sharing about the other sites. It is very useful.
