Three Things I Think From a Financial Blogging Conference (and Personal Finance Links)

October 3, 2011 by Lazy Man 20 Comments

I went to the first financial blogger conference this weekend. I met a lot of people and learned a ton. What does this mean for you? A better website is likely to be coming down the pipeline. Here are a few other ideas I had while I work to put them together:

  • Twitter Changes Everything 1 – I think that Twitter changed the conference in an unexpected way. There was a level of accountability for the panels. One of the panels tried to justify payday loans and another person said that they want people who don’t pay off their credit cards. I understand that’s how these people make money, but the reaction on Twitter was awesome. I realized that I wasn’t alone in being surprised by this.
  • Twitter Changes Everything 2 – My wife was following the conference from a couple of thousand miles away and knew more than I did about many of the things that were going on. She was effectively everywhere at the conference.
  • Best Lazy Learning Idea – I think you should buy the books from Mike Piper of Oblivious Investor. He’s got a series that focuses on covering a topic in 100 pages or fewer. When I tweeted that I’d like to read his book, he came and found me. Don’t know how he did it, but I’m giving some time to read Can I Retire? over the next few days – though I probably go get through the book in a couple of hours if I focused on it.
