NetworthIQ Blog

• Oh yeah, passed the 10,000 user mark the other day. Great way to mark two year anniversary this month. #
• I think tips and questions feature will be merging into a single “talk” feature. I believe it will simplify things. #
• Will also add threaded replies and better indicators for new stuff (thanks to suggestions from community) #
• @harrisja Thanks! Hopefully the growth can continue. #

• Working on some SEO tweaks; adding meta description tags to tip, question, and post pages and cleaning up title tags. #
• Newsweek did a short piece on social personal finance this week (http://tinyurl.com/2×4y5e) and left NetworthIQ out. Da bums! #
• Cleaning up tag clouds, sorting alphabetically and spacing out a bit more. #
• Was this close to going to BarCampBank in Seattle this weekend, but couldn’t quite pull it off. Hopefully there will be some good write ups. #
• A little upset that MySql doesn’t have a median function. All of the examples from around the web are too slow or too much work to setup. #

• Mashable rounds up 40+ online money tools (http://tinyurl.com/2zpzha), including NetworthIQ. Apparently, we have “aggressive ads”. Do we? #

Long time NetworthIQ member edgeworth has penned a masterful update in his latest net worth entry:

There once was a member of Net Worth IQ,
The market was flat but he didn’t feel blue,
He just kept on saving,
Cause he had a craving,
To get from one million to two.

Awesome. Thanks for the smile Edge.

RedToBlack and Unleadedcoach joined the fun in the comments with their own verses.

Who would’ve thought you mix poetry and personal finance.

On Monday night I rolled out, what I think anyway, is a cool new addition to the public member pages. The public profile page now has a profile section in the right column which gives a little more info about the member. You can see when the member joined, last login, number of times the profile has been viewed and answers to a series of questions that relate to financial personality. I’ve really enjoyed the personal finance interviews that Cap has been doing for the Mint blog and thought that type of interview would be a great addition for NetworthIQ members.

To update your profile, just login into your account and go to the “profile” section (or tab).

Enough talk though, here’s the feature in action, as a couple of newcomers have got the ball rolling with the profile answers:

• http://www.networthiq.com/people/JHuff15
• http://www.networthiq.com/people/JuanCa

• Released profile questions. Members can now share and learn more about our money thoughts and history. Login to answer the new questions. #
• Added sign up date, last login date, and profile views to the profile section of members’ public page. Nice to clear up really old todos. #
• NetworthIQ will be two years old next week, amazing how fast time flies. #
• What’s coming up next… Monthly reminders start going out today, newsletter after that, then new design implementation and Q&A fixes. #
