NetworthIQ on TheStreet.com
I was late to see that NetworthIQ was mentioned on TheStreet.com this past weekend in an article about online personal finance tools by Terry Savage.
On page 2, the topic of social networking around personal finance is introduced:
Personal finance sites that revolve around “social networking” in general are becoming very popular. For example, www.networthiq.com allows you to post your financial information — including cash, investments, debt, etc. — for all to see and comment upon. It requires users to manually update monthly balances.
Interesting that she introduces Mint as having the ability to share stories about their finances:
Another social networking site, www.Mint.com, allows bloggers to share stories about their personal finances.
Not sure if she was confused there. That’s part of what we’re trying to do with NetworthIQ. As far as I know, Mint’s focus is on helping you track expenses and spend your money better. I haven’t seen much around community interaction and storytelling, but I guess their blog does a good job with that, so perhaps that’s what she was referring to.
Anyway, always fun to see coverage in the media and around the web.
