Hi Everyone,

I joined the challenge today!  My alexa rank is currently: 21,128,544 (I gotta start somewhere)  

I would like to share my personal finance musings to the Yakezie Network.  I seek to grow my blog and learn about internet businesses and marketing.  I would like to help whenever possible.

My Blog is http://www.aftercollegemoney.com and I would like to help those who just came out of college and would like to earn more money.  Please stop by and leave me a comment!

Welcome Eric!

So I swear to sweet goodness this is my last time. I'm joining the Epsilon challenge group. Today is January 25th, 2012, at 6:13 PM EST. My alexa rating is 2,333,392. I held back initially because my blog (http://www.mealplanrescue.com) is more about healthy eating, but I know that the lifestyle section is getting moving and I figure even PF junkies have to eat! So as part of the challenge I commit to post comments and participate in the board every day that I have access to a computer, to comment on as many blogs as I can and to be an overall cheerful pain in the arse. I wanted to be a Beta, but now that my health is MUCH improved (thank you to all who supported me) I'm excited to be an Epsilon.

And a quick thank you to Crystal at Budgeting the Fun Stuff who's always been available to answer any questions I had and who helped me simplify things to be able to focus on a couple projects I'm really passionate about. Crystal and Jesse are truly great human beings.

Thank you!

Hello all!  Just joined today, my Alexa ranking is 5,500,876.  Ouch!  I started my blog two weeks ago, so hopefully I'll be bringing that number down within the next 6 months!  

I blog from an island in the middle of the sea, so please come visit!

My blog is brand new, so I am starting this challenge fresh and wet behind the ears. My Alexa ranking is 15,920,114, but that is simply my starting point.

I am a 20 year old university student who does not want to end up like other students with loads of debt after graduation. so I am starting to build a portfolio of investments (just wish I had started even earlier) and am going to write hopefully relevant advice and content to help other students like myself. I hope if you are here you can stand to benefit even the slightest bit from my advice. Thank you and good luck to the rest of you.

Thanks SB, I have to tell you yours is one of the blogs I read regularly so the notice means a lot.

Hi all!  I've networked with a few of you individually between Twitter, Klout, etc… but after spending a few weeks nerding out over the back-end and all sorts of optimization (as well as starting to establish a brand ahead of time), I'm finally ready to announce that I'll be participating in the Yakezie Challenge!  My blog is still very much a work-in-progress, so don't expect much as of yet anyway.

A little bit about me: my name is Dan Simmons, and I'm currently in the home-stretch at Georgia Tech.  I'll be graduating in December with a B.S. Computer Science degree + certificate in Finance.  Currently for my capstone project, I'm doing research with a professor in the realm of machine learning for trading.  A friend and I are working on developing a really cool method of visualizing and manipulating data (particularly financial data sets) in the browser by simply dragging and dropping.  The intent is to use it to make a very easy way to create investment strategies visually (and no programming experience required) and that you'd be able to iterate on rapidly, as well as back-test as far back as you'd like, make predictions about future returns, portfolio optimization, etc… I'll be completing a third and final software engineering internship this summer with a very well-known company in the personal finance realm (made the 2012 "Companies To Work For" top 20!), and will probably end up returning for my M.S. CS with a specialization in Finance at some point.

/end stream of consciousness (it's 7:21am and… I'm up because I've yet to go to sleep).

As of me officially launching WealthNerd (http://www.wealthnerd.com), my Alexa ranking was 15,633,528.  I hope to see that number exponentially decrease in the coming month or two!
