Wesabe : Social Networking : A Web Community for Sharing Money Experiences
In the previous posting there was a reference to the December 2005 start-company Wesabe, a new type of financial web community, which "deals with real money issues".
As written at Technically Speaking by Rex Dixon:
"[Wesabe] is a community of people (social network) that share their experiences with money. The community is there to help others make better financial decisions."
Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing writes:
"I'm proud to have joined Wesabe's advisory board -- Marc's way sharp, and Wesabe's a damned cool idea. The service anonymizes your financial data and then compares it to others' and figures out ways that you can save money right away, and worked into it is a bunch of community stuff for people who are figuring out how to spend smarter. It's a little like Flickr for your money, or social Consumerist."
Wesabe also has an appropriately titled blog called Wheaties for Your Wallet, where we read that the following topics form the current top 10 of user interest:
"1. Pay Off My Credit Cards
2. Save Up An Emergency Fund
3. Lower Spending
4. Buy A House
5. Spend Money With Green Values In Mind
6. Stop Paying Late Fees, Overlimit Fees, Nonsufficient Funds Fees, ATM Fees, And Any Other Fees I Can Find!
7. Contribute To My IRA
8. Make Wesabe Better
9. Buy A MacBook Pro"
10. Don’t Panic About Money
Wesabe looks like a good idea for internet users who want to improve their money savvy and save money.
