It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed any sites, so I figure it’s time to share one of the sites I have been using a lot lately. Personal Finance Buzz, or PF Buzz for short, is a Digg-like site that focuses on money and finance related topics. PF Buzz was launched by Pinyo at Moolanomy earlier this year.
How does it work?
Similar to Digg, PF Buzz relies entirely on user submitted content and user participation. Users submit links to their favorite articles which get added to the site. Other users can vote articles up or down, controlling which articles get promoted to the front page.
Why should personal finance readers use it?
PF Buzz helps readers discover some of the best content from personal finance blogs in one convenient location. Not only will you find great content, you’ll probably discover new blogs that you enjoy reading. You can also help promote your favorite blogs, like Broke Grad Student (wink), by submitting articles and voting them up. PF Buzz also makes it easy to keep track of new content through RSS feeds for a variety of categories, such as frugality, investing, making money, and many more.
Why should personal finance bloggers use it?
Personal finance bloggers also benefit from PF Buzz for many of the same reasons. You can use it to keep track of new content from all over the personal finance blogosphere. It’s also a great place to discover other blogs and connect with fellow bloggers. Finally, it provides another avenue to promote your own blog and also support other blogs that you like.
Conclusion
I love the idea behind PF Buzz and really think it could become a great hub for money and finance related articles. However, it needs your help to truly become the Digg of Personal Finance. At the time of this writing, the community of active users is still really small for this type of site, and it really needs the support of readers and bloggers, like you, to get it going. So what are you waiting for? Head over to PF Buzz and start voting up your favorite articles!
