socialmedian: The Latest Social News Aggregator [Invites]

[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]

socialImedian is the latest project from Jobster founder Jason Goldberg. Currently in private beta, it's a bookmarking tool, similar to Twine, that aggregates information around various News Groups that cover any topic under the sun. socialImedian has sent over a few thousand invites for Mashable readers. Click here to register for an account, and type in "Mashable" for the beta invite code.

When you first start out, you can easily search for News Groups to join up with, or create one of your own. To make things easier, as with all good social bookmarking tools, social(median has a browser plugin for easy clipping as you surf the web.

The bookmarking tool is pretty basic: title, URL, and description. There's not even an option for designating which News Group you'd like to add a particular item to while bookmarking URLs. socialImedian is still very much in its beginning stages, however, so new features are sure to come about as the team continues to build out its feature set, and work from user feedback.

What I do like about socialImedian is its ability to enable clipping from other users' sources, directly from the socialImedian site. While the continuous search and discovery tools aren't completely circular within the network, this particular feature helps users better explore and utilize the site's user-collected data. Once you've interacted with the site on these levels, socialImedian will then deliver custom news to you. For every News Group, you can indicate what delivery schedule you'd like.
