Around the Personal Finance Blogosphere

Personal Finance Buzz

First in the news is Personal Finance Buzz — a personal finance social network by a personal finance blogger for personal finance bloggers. I started PF Buzz alpha/beta on May 17th and launched it on May 27th.

First, I’d like to say thank you to all the bloggers who have helped me promote PF Buzz by sharing the service with their readers.

If you haven’t heard of PF Buzz before, please check it out. It has five key features:

Buzz — Promoted personal finance articles
Upcoming — Recently submitted personal finance articles
Random Buzz — Allows you randomly visit
Planet — Aggregates of personal finance articles. If you want to be considered for inclusion, please contact me.
Forums — Personal finance discussion forums

Money Life Network

A small group of personal finance bloggers started The Money Life Network this past week. Members include:

Wedding Giveaway Winner
