This week, a handful of our personal finance blogging comrades put together some highly engaging and fun activities that addressed the blogosphere. I was quite happy to have had the opportunity to participate in some of them. I would like to encourage you to check out the action at these places!

At Grad Money Matters, Ispf worked very hard to put together a series of interviews with several personal finance bloggers covering the topic of ethics and money. He hosted the Carnival of Ethics, Values and Personal Finance #4 this week, and he’s made it a project to dig deeper into the subject via the Q & A’s. I was glad to have had the pleasure to be one of the bloggers he’s interviewed. Wonderful job, Ispf!

At Free Money Finance, the March Madness competition is underway, where my entries have fared fairly well. All of them so far look like they’ll make it past the first round of games (or heats). However, it seems like for my posts that are already in the second round, these are already facing stiff competition — either locked in a dead heat or on the verge of finally getting whupped! Well let’s say I’m just relieved to make it beyond the first rounds without getting kicked off. Great competition FMF!

At Money Smart Life, Ben has written a series of articles in honor of Entrepreneurship Week USA. He’s a fellow entrepreneur and personal finance blogger and I found that I have many things in common with him. So c’mon down to Money Smart Life to see his insights, reviews, interviews and tips on business and entrepreneurship.

At Money Blog Site, Martin has come up with a competition called Blog Madness where he pits personal finance bloggers against each other. He’s really put a lot of effort into this as exhibited when he came up with this diagram. Now I’m curious how this turns out!

The carnivals were also celebrating as always.
