Weekly Highlights: April 5, 2009

By Pinyo, on April 5, 2009

This week Moolanomy was mentioned by askDeb.com as one of the top 100 great advice blog — thank you!

Greatnexus

Also, I launched another site this week called Greatnexus. From the Greatnexus home page, you can scan the latest headlines from multiple news and social media sites, as well as see some of the popular videos on YouTube. The site also has category pages where you can see headlines from news, social media, forums, blogs, and sites sources. Some of my favorite pages are Greatnexus Personal Finance and Greatnexus Web.

I’d love to hear your feedback about my new project and add your site(s)

Tip’d

I have to admit that Tip’d accomplished what I haven’t been able to with PF Buzz, and I congratulate the Tip’d team on their success. While we are on the subject of Tip’d, they are actually launching Tip’d 2.0 on April 7th. New version will introduce several features as follow:

• The Tip’d SocialTickers — Tip’d SocialTickers are pages that track any given stock ticker across the Social Web.
• The Tip’d Video Integration — You will have the ability to share your favorite business and finance related videos with the Tip’d community.
• The Tip’d Top 100 – Since this one is already live, you can check out the top 100 list here. Right now, Moolanomy is #64 and I could use your help…
• The Top Tip’d Ambassadors — The list will highlight the users that have been working off the site to recruit more members for our community on a monthly basis.
• The Tip’d Greatest Hits — This page will list the most popular stories to have ever been featured on the homepage of Tip’d.

So mark your calendar and check out Tip’d on the 7th.

Ask The M-Network

There were a few Ask The M-Network articles this week:

• Should I Raid the 401(k) to Buy “Safe” Assets? at Cash Money Life

We are always looking for more reader question, so please feel free to submit your questions.
