Tagsum.com - Social Networking and News Aggregator

TagSum is a news aggregator site that takes Digg to the next level. The web site not only includes user-submitted and user-rated articles, but it is also a social networking site. Most importantly, the site centers around the tags associated with uploaded content. Submitted articles are tagged by the user, searches are conducted around tags, and TagSum believes that any member can become the go-to expert in a certain tagged field. TagSum brings the concept of tags to the social networking portion of the site as well, and encourages users to tag personal information so they can find members with similar interests.

 
  In their own words  

“TagSum aims to revolutionize the way you search for things and interact with people on the internet. Tags are the concept that makes TagSum so unique as they are basically keywords or phrases that describe an element but by tagging items on the site, searching on TagSum is made easier and results are more relevant.”

  Why it might be a killer  

TagSum’s approach to categorization and search sets it apart from similar websites. It also has monthly contests to ensure that users will continue to rate and provide content.

  Some questions  

Does the emphasis on social networking dilute the capabilities associated with tagging? The association between social networking and tagging seems to be weaker than that with news aggregation, but the importance placed on social networking is equal to that of uploaded content.

Andrew's a liar he has no idea what he's talking about.

This site is run by the people who run simplifiedsec.com, all their websites are illegal black hat stuff. Simplifiedsec is black hat because it generates content that it steals from websites and it also cloaks the pages so that a search engine can see them but people get redirected to affiliate websites. And when a user on the simplifiedsec.com doesn't pay the monthly $69 they redirect all their sites to tagsum.com, and there are hundreds of thousands of sites that they do this to. All those backlinks are scammed, look at who posts the top links for tagsum, 1EightT which is Brian Lovett the owner of all these black hat sites and tagsum. PROOF: go to one of Brian Lovett's many sites likehttp://www.automotivearena.com/forums/go to the bottom and look at the links to his black hat sites. search for one of them in google. If you look at a cached page of the site and then click the link you will find that the cached page is made just for the search engine and is not as appealing because its seo optimized. When you click the link you will find that it redirects you to his affiliate. Its all a huge scam.I know because I used to be part of simplifiedsec. Check my info to see if its true, because it all is.
