Birds of a Feather Flocking to Personal Finance on Twitter
by Efin Advisor | May 15, 2009
Have you done any Tweeting about your personal finances lately? We don’t mean chirping like a parakeet or cackling like a crow. Twitter is a simple messaging service for friends, family, and even many businesses that makes it easy to communicate through the exchange of short messages of 140 characters or less.
Twitter is much more than just chatter. For many it is a revolutionary way to find the freshest, most relevant information on a particular topic. Don’t knock Twitter until you try it. And if you’d like to follow a flock of financial planning “Tweeple” or Tweeps, check out the list that one Twitterer (”Saving for Serenity“) calls The Ultimate List of Personal Finance Bloggers on Twitter.

Got a suggestion for a Twitterer we missed? What do you think of the Twitter service and concept? Note: You can follow our Efinancial Tweets on Twitter by following us at http://www.twitter.com/Efinancialblog
I’ve never been a twitter fan. It always seemed weird to me that people want to share that much information about themselves with people who may be strangers and that people who were strangers cared so much. I never realized that real information could be passed through twitter and there were people doing this. Thanks efinancial. I think i’ll check it out now

I have always used twitter but never seen any of these before. It would be great if you had updates like this frequently, or if other websites had lists of advisor types on twitter. That way we could know who the official “advise givers” were and not be led astray

I think people should be weary of some of these posts. Efinancial is certainly an financial expert, but unless you know the background of the people giving you financial information, do not take it as gospel.
