Sunday’s Sites

Every Sunday I try to highlight 4 or 5 articles from around the blogosphere which I found particularly insightful. This week I want to highlight some of the bloggers who have hit mainstream media this week, as well as some of the newer bloggers who are getting interviewed on other blogs.

Jim with Bargaineering was on ABC News talking about Credit Reports. It is pretty cool to see bloggers making it into mainstream media like this. Maybe one day I will make it to the big time.

Get Rich Slowly was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal along with Jim from Bargaineering. I can barely get a link from another blog, these guys are PFblog superstars.

The Weakonomist was interviewed by Manshu at Onemint.com and Clare at Money Energy this week. Check them both out to get some insight into the inner working of this mystery blogger.

Baker from Man Vs. Debt was interviewed this week by Green Panda Treehouse. If you haven’t noticed Baker has managed to do what few bloggers can. He has exploded onto the personal finance scene with a vengeance. Read this interview to find out a little more about him.

I am truly honored that Suburban Dollar was included as one of the Top 10 Up and Coming Personal Finance Blogs according to Nickel and Blogs.com. Check out the list and make sure you check out each of these great blogs.

Don’t forget we are giving away another book. This week we are giving away “An American Hedge Fund” by Timothy Sykes. There are three ways to enter so stop by and get your entries in today.
