    The whole "you are outperforming lydia" part seems a bit cruel considering it's someone's finances you are talking about. Is Facebook really the right venue to let your friends know they've made poor investment decisions?

    IMHO the value of such application will be if your friends are smart investors. In other cases it will be a little bit funny.

    I like this feature! It is similar to Covestor.com, which is a great way to track other people's (including non-friends) investment portfolios and get investment ideas.

    This is neat. Actually, this might be more appealing than their current site right now. However, there are still limitations with these "investment networks." You don't _LEARN_. So I guess if you're already comfortable in investing and believe in all your abilities, using a Cake or Covestor will be neat to prod about your success and fish for ideas. Ultimately, it doesn't give you the educational value add, though.

    Most of these sites are still not answering the basic question of learning to trade and invest on your own. Dividend.com is the most basic and simplest site on the web. It’s about results that you can understand. The site is a throwback to the days you don’t need star wars-like software programs to succeed. Discipline, planning, and not inundating yourself with millions of opinions is how to make it as a trader. You get to see which stocks are moving and why and how to profit. The dividend stocks section is gold for long-term investors. There isn’t a much better return than dividend stocks where the dividends are re-invested over time. It's premium content that is free. Keep it simple and you will succeed.
