Financial(market) bloggers UNITE!

First off – My all carb all the time Toronto diet is a HUGE success. I have gained 10 pounds in 21 days – WITHOUT McDonalds! I feel like crap and my joints hurt. My hair (except that in my ear and nose) seems to be falling out faster. Cool. Three more weeks and I will look like Chartreuse’s other brother (I met his real brother and he is much cooler than me).

The tech nerds and venture dudes (and dudettes) get it. Conversation is cool, even if it is with other nerds. Conversation has led to a cool Web2.0 site like TechMeme . I have talked to Gabe and he says that we are not linking enough to get this for OUR community of bloggers.

Financial bloggers are out in good numbers, but WE are not linking enough and using all the COOL WIDGETS that the nerds are giving us and the Venture dudes are funding. Touring as many financial blogs as I can, I am happily surprised by the wicked talent.

Sadly, we share one thing in common with our tech nerd blogger brethren – sophomorix, assanine, anonymous comments. Sadly, the mean comments that I notice while touring financial blogs will likely stay, but – and this is a big but (not BUTT :) like mine right now), this is what makes markets!

I have added my two new favorite tools to my right sidebar for you all to see and hopefully test out on your sites – coComment and MyBlogLog . My forward thinking friend TraderMike has done the same.

Trust me – these are cool, useful widgets and will make our financial blogging community a better place to learn the markets and make money!
