NetworthIQ in the Boston Globe

The Boston Globe takes a look at the social personal finance and investing web sites in an article today by Carolyn Johnson. NetworthIQ was included way at the end along with bostongal (NetworthIQ profile), here’s the snippet:

Finally, for the true exhibitionist, a new network of personal finance bloggers has sprouted up, keeping profiles on NetWorthIQ, which offers people a public forum in which to chronicle the ups and downs of their assets.

The woman behind one NetWorth profile said she started blogging about her finances because she felt alone.

“Being able to read and see the details of how others were managing (or not) their money was something I found very interesting and powerful,” BostonGal, who insists on remaining anonymous because she posts so much detailed financial information online, wrote in an e-mail. “For me, it was finally answering questions such as, ‘How can people afford to buy that?’ or ‘Am I the only one who struggles to save?’ ”

Yep, I think it’s interesting and powerful too. Welcome to all the new members.
