• Questions feature allows members to pose questions to the community about either their financial situation or more general topics. #

Hot off the presses tonight. The Wall Street Journal is running an article, Managing Your Money
In Public View by Jane Kim, which examines the combination of social networking and personal finance. NetworthIQ is included as one of the sites for “Organizing your finances” and a quick overview of the site is given:

The ability to share and compare one’s finances with others can also help motivate people to build their wealth. NetworthIQ lets users create profiles based on their actual net worth. They can then compare themselves with others by age, income or occupation, link to other users, and track their progress on a blog. About one-third of the site’s 9,000 registered users choose to make their net-worth figures public, although the data are self-reported and the users’ identity is masked.

Needless to say we’re thrilled to be included in this and are looking forward to seeing the community grow with the new visitors.

For the new visitors, please let us know if you have any questions and/or feedback for us, either here or email us at contact@networthiq.com
