Tweako bears a certain similarity to Digg, but instead of news headlines the user submitted content is geared toward tutorials, guides, resources and services. - -I wouldn't go so far as to call it a Digg clone, but even if you did, a Digg clone for tutorials and the like is a good idea. - -In addition to submitting links, registered users can post tutorials and the like directly on Tweako. All the submitted content can be tagged, commented on and voted for by other users. - -Registering at Tweako is free and creating the account lets you set up a profile that can track your voting and submission history. There are also tools for sending private messages and initiating a chats with fellow users in you "buddy" list. In addition to a site-wide feed there are also topic and user based RSS feeds. - -The site is broken into fourteen broad categories ranging from tips for Mac or Windows users to Rails tutorials. And for something that just went public there's a decent amount of content on the site. - -The layout and design of Tweako is quite slick with all the Ajax widgets we've come to expect from sites like this. At the moment there are a couple of Google text ads, but not the overwhelming onslaught of ads that many tutorial sites sites throw at you. - -Also worth noting is that Tweako was designed and created by a 19 year-old programmer, named Michael Stefanello, which is a heck of a lot more than I accomplished at that age. - -As with an social site that's just launched, Tweako is looking for content so if you have a tutorial you'd like to tell people about head on over and submit it to Tweako.
