"TradeVibes, which launched its private beta earlier this year, is now ready to make its service available to the public.  We first reviewed TradeVibes here, and noted its well-designed system of profiling companies, pooling participation from the community, and providing it to the public for free.  With several influential members on the company's board, and a $900,000 investment from Ron Conway, Aydin Senkut of Felicis Ventures, Dave McClure, and the Kinsey Hills Group, TradeVibes is off to a good start.  \nAccording to David Li, co-founder and CEO of TradeVibes, will be using the funding to further grow its team.  In making its aggregate data available to the public for free, another aspect of crowdsourcing is layered into the organization of information in regards to company profiles and other data used for making informed stock market decisions.  This data includes news, profiles, opinions, and more.  Another feature in the company's hat is its Startup Discover Widget, which combines user preferences with TradeVibes' recommendation system to enable the discovery of interesting startups.  \nThere are a few other wiki-style services that aim to provide information on companies in order to empower larger group sets, but TradeVibes seems to be the most inclusive and feature-rich service to date. If anything, the support behind TradeVibes further solidifies the greater attitude of online tools and resources for community-driven platforms that interact with the stock market."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
